1.40 Over a limited temperature range, the relation between
electrical resistance R and temperature T for a resistance tem-
perature detector is
R = Ro[1 + a(T-To)]
where R, is the resistance, in ohms (), measured at reference
temperature To (in °C) and a is a material constant with units
of (°C)-¹. The following data are obtained for a particular re-
sistance thermometer:
Test 1 (To)
Test 2
T (°C)
0
91
R (0)
(Ro) 51.39
51.72
What temperature would correspond to a resistance of 51.47
on this thermometer?
