- Suppose you come across old scientific notes that describe a temperature scale called Z on which the boiling point of water is 65.00Z and the freezing point is –140Z. To what temperature on the Fahrenheit scale would a temperature of T= -98.00Z correspond? Assume that the Z scale is linear, that is, the size of a Z degree is the same everywhere on the Z scale.arrow_forwardYou happen to come across a piece of metal that has a density of p 8.12 g/cm3 when the temperature is To = 42.5 °C. If the metal is cooled to a temperature of T1 0.00 °C, does the density change? Yes, the density will decrease since the volume changes. Yes, since the metal contracts and the mass is constant, the density will increase. No, because as the volume changes so does the mass. No, density does not depend on temperature. Calculate the density of the piece of metal at this temperature, P1.

He points out to you that Daniel Fahrenheit used the best estimate of normal human body temperature as one of the points indefining the original Fahrenheit temperature scale.

Your professor proposes a new scale on which normal human body temperature would be exactly 100°N, where the unit °N is a degree on the New scale. The temperature of freezing water would be 0°N, as on the Celsius scale. Your professor asks you to determine the following temperatures on his new scale: (a) absolute zero, (b) the melting point of mercury (-37.9°F), (c) the boiling point of water, and, for publicity at his expected future press conference, (d) the highest recorded air temperature on the Earth’s surface, 134.1°F on July 10, 1913, in Death Valley, California.arrow_forwardApproximately how long should it take 8.8 kg of ice at 0°C to melt when it is placed in a carefully sealed Styrofoam ice chest of dimensions 25 cm x 35 cm x 55 cm whose walls are 1.4 cm thick?
