    The readings of a constant-volume gas thermometer at \[{{0}^{o}}C\] and \[{{100}^{o}}C\] are 40 cm of mercury column and 60 cm of mercury column respectively. If its reading at an unknown temperature is 100 cm of mercury column, then find that temperature.

    A)  \[{{200}^{o}}C\]        

    B)  \[{{300}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[{{500}^{o}}C\]        

    D)  \[{{150}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The formula for unknown temperature is \[t=100\left( \frac{{{P}_{t}}-{{P}_{0}}}{{{P}_{100}}-{{P}_{0}}} \right)\] At \[{{0}^{o}}C,\,{{P}_{0}}=40\,cm,\,p\] at \[{{100}^{o}}C=60\,cm\] \[{{P}_{t}}=100\,cm\] \[\therefore \] \[t=100\left( \frac{1000-40}{60-40} \right)={{300}^{o}}C\].
