Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
100\(\theta\) .... 875mm
0\(\theta\) ....325mm
\(\theta\) .... 190mm
\(\frac{0 - \theta}{100 - \theta}\) = \(\frac{325 - 190}{875 - 190}\)
\(\theta\) = -25oC
= 243k
100\(\theta\) .... 875mm
0\(\theta\) ....325mm
\(\theta\) .... 190mm
\(\frac{0 - \theta}{100 - \theta}\) = \(\frac{325 - 190}{875 - 190}\)
\(\theta\) = -25oC
= 243k
