Question2. A new temperature scale N is to be defined. The boiling and freezing points of water on this scale are 100°N amd 400°N respectively. Then (a) what will be the reading on the new scale corresponding to 60°C? (b) At what temperature both the Celsius and new temperature scale reading would be same?

Question2. A new temperature scale N is to be defined. The boiling and freezing points of water on this scale are 100°N amd 400°N respectively. Then (a) what will be the reading on the new scale corresponding to 60°C? (b) At what temperature both the Celsius and new temperature scale reading would be same?
Sol:
ts= boiling temperature
ti= ice temperature
tc=corresponding temperature
scale reading: boiling temperature corresponding freezing temperature
new scale 100°N x°N 400°N
Celsius scale 100°C 60°C 0°C
ts - ti/ts - tc = ts - ti/ts - tc
100 - 0/100 - 60 = 100°N - 400°N/100°N - X°C
100/40 = -300°N/100°N - X°N
100°N - X°N = -120°N
X = 220°N
(b) both Celsius and new temperature scale value same at 100°
