A centigrade and a Fahrenheit thermometer are dipped in boiling water. The water temp is lowered until the Fahrenheit temp. register $140^o$. What is the fall in the temperature as registered by centigrade thermometer ....... $^oC$
A
$30$
B
$40$
C
$60$
D
$80$
Solution
$\frac{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}-0}{100}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{F}}-32}{180}$
$\frac{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}}{100}=\frac{140-32}{180} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}=60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
$\Delta \mathrm{T}=100-60$
$=40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
