Answer to Question #105089 in Mechanics | Relativity for Emmanuel

Question

A constant volume gas thermometer records pressure of body as 250mm of Hg at 0°c and 350mm Hg at 100°c. Calculate the temperature when the gas pressure reads 300mm Hg

Answer 1

$T=aP+b$

$0=250a+b$

$100=350a+b$

So,

$100=100a\to a=1$

$0=250+b\to b=-250$

Then,

$T=P-250$

$T(300)=300-250=50\degree C$
