The electrical resistance in ohms of a certain thermometer varies with temperature according to the approximate law:

R = R_o [1 + α (T – T_o)]

The resistance is 101.6 Ω at the triple-point of water 273.16 K, and 165.5 Ω at the normal melting point of lead (600.5 K). What is the temperature when the resistance is 123.4 Ω?

A brass wire 1.8 m long at 27 °C is held taut with little tension between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled to a temperature of –39 °C, what is the tension developed in the wire, if its diameter is 2.0 mm? Co-efficient of linear expansion of brass = 2.0 × 10^–5 K^–1; Young’s modulus of brass = 0.91 × 10¹¹ Pa.
