Chapter 1, Problem 64E

Ethylene glycol is the main component in automobile anti-freeze. To monitor the temperature of an auto cooling system, you intend to use a meter that reads from 0 to 100. You devise a new temperature scale based on the approximate melting and boiling points of a typical antifreeze solution (−45°C and 115°C). You wish these points to correspond to 0°A and 100°A, respectively.

  1. a. Derive an expression for converting between °A and °C.
  2. b. Derive an expression for converting between °F and °A.
  3. c. At what temperature would your thermometer and a Celsius thermometer give the same numerical reading?
  4. d. Your thermometer reads 86°A. What is the temperature in °C and in °F?
  5. e. What is a temperature of 45°C in °A?

Answer to Problem 64E

The relationship between oCandoA is oC=1.6×oA-45

Explanation of Solution

To give: the relationship between oCandoA

The difference in degrees Celsius unit is 160oC, but in Degrees oA unit is 100oA.

The relationship between oCandoA is given below

temperatureinoC=oA×(85)-45=oA×1.6-45

The relationship between oCandoA is oC=1.6×oA-45

Answer to Problem 64E

The correct expression between oFandoA units is oF=2.88oA-49.

Explanation of Solution

To give: the relationship between oFandoA

The relationship between oFandoC is given by

oC=(oF-32oF)×5oC9oF

Compare the two relationships

(oF-32)×59=85×A-45F-32 = (9/5)×(8/5)×A - (9/5)×(9x5)F-32 = 72/25 A - 81=72/25 A - 81+ 32F = 2.88 A - 49 

The relationship between oFandoA units is oF=2.88oA-49.

Answer to Problem 64E

The thermometer will give same reading at oA=72=oC.

Explanation of Solution

To determine: the temperature at which the thermometer same reading in oAandoC units

Apply the relationship between oCandoA

oC=1.6×oA-45WhenA=CA=1.6×A-4545=(1/1.6)A=0.625AA=72

The thermometer will give same reading at oA=72=oC.

Answer to Problem 64E

The given temperature in degrees Celsius unit is 92.6oC, in degrees Fahrenheit unit is 198.7oF.

Explanation of Solution

To determine: the given temperature in oCandoF units

Given information

86oA

Apply the relationship between oCandoA

oC=1.6×oA-45=1.6×86-45=92.6oC

Apply the relationship between oCandoF

oF=(oC×9oF5oC)+32oF=(92.6oC×9oF5oC)+32oF=198.7oF

The given temperature in degrees Celsius unit is 92.6oC, in degrees Fahrenheit unit is 198.7oF.

Answer to Problem 64E

The given temperature in oA unit is 56.25oA.

Explanation of Solution

To determine: the given temperature in oA unit

Given information

45oC

Apply the relationship between oCandoA

oC=1.6×oA-4545+45=1.6oAA=90/1.6=56.25 oA

The given temperature in oA unit is 56.25oA.
