Define a new temperature scale, say °N in which the boiling and freezing points of water are 1000°N and 100°N, respectively, and correlate this scale with the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. (b) The °N reading on this scale is a certain number of t degrees on a corresponding absolute temperature scale. What is this absolute temperature at 0°N?
