the steam point and ice point of a mercury thermometer are wrongly marked as 92 degree Celsius and 2 degree Celsius respectively.the correct temperature read by this thermometer is?

I want the solution

Answer please

To find the correct temperature reading on the mercury thermometer, you need to adjust for the wrongly marked steam point and ice point.

First, we need to understand the correct steam point and ice point temperatures on the Celsius scale. The steam point is the temperature at which water boils, which is 100 degrees Celsius. The ice point is the temperature at which water freezes, which is 0 degrees Celsius.

In this case, the steam point is wrongly marked as 92 degrees Celsius and the ice point is marked as 2 degrees Celsius.

To calculate the correction factor, we need to determine the difference between the correct steam point (100 degrees Celsius) and the wrongly marked steam point (92 degrees Celsius), as well as the difference between the correct ice point (0 degrees Celsius) and the wrongly marked ice point (2 degrees Celsius).

Correction factor = (Correct Steam Point - Wrongly Marked Steam Point) + (Correct Ice Point - Wrongly Marked Ice Point)
Correction factor = (100 - 92) + (0 - 2)
Correction factor = 8 - 2
Correction factor = 6

Therefore, the correction factor is 6 degrees Celsius. To obtain the correct temperature reading on the thermometer, add this correction factor to the temperature indicated on the thermometer.

Correct temperature reading = Temperature indicated on the thermometer + Correction factor

For example, if the thermometer indicates 20 degrees Celsius, the correct temperature would be:
Correct temperature reading = 20 + 6
Correct temperature reading = 26 degrees Celsius.

So, the correct temperature read by this thermometer can be obtained by adding 6 degrees Celsius to the temperature indicated on the thermometer.

20 degree Celsius
