Physics · JEE | THERMAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER
हिन्दीThe relationship between Fahrenheit temperature (\( t_F \)) and Celsius temperature (\( t_C \)) is given by \( \frac{t_F - 32}{180} = \frac{t_C}{100} \). At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometers read the exact same numerical value?
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option B
\( -40^\circ \)
Explanation
Let \( t_F = t_C = x \). Then \( \frac{x - 32}{18} = \frac{x}{10} \implies 10x - 320 = 18x \implies 8x = -320 \implies x = -40^\circ \).
