In a thermomtr upper & lower fixed points were err marked. 100 instead of 105 & 0 inst of -5. What r correct temp corresponding to 40 & 80?

We need to define a transformation between the false scale
indication and the real temperature on a correct Celsius
scale.


The real extent of the incorrect scale
is


`Delta(T) = 105 -(-5) =110 degree C`


The length of incorrect scale
is


`L =100-0 =100 units`


The
real temperature for 40 units on the incorrect scale
is


`T_1 = L_1*(Delta(T))/L = 40*110/100 =40*1.1 =44 Celsius


The real temperature for 80 units on the incorrect scale
is


`T_2 =L_2*(Delta(T))/L =80*110/100 =80*1.1 =88 Celsius`


Answer: The correct temperatures
corresponding to 40 and 80 are 44 and 88 degree
Celsius

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
