Question
Calculate the temperature which has same numeral value on celsius and Fahrenheit scale.
✓
Answer
Let the required temperature is x0C = x0F
$\frac{\text{C}}{100}=\frac{\text{F}-32}{180}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{5}=\frac{\text{x}-32}{9}$
$\Rightarrow5\text{x}-160=9\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow-9\text{x}+5\text{x}=160$
$\Rightarrow-4\text{x}=160$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{160}{-4}=-40^\circ$
$\therefore-40^\circ\text{F}=-40^\circ\text{C}$
$\frac{\text{C}}{100}=\frac{\text{F}-32}{180}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{5}=\frac{\text{x}-32}{9}$
$\Rightarrow5\text{x}-160=9\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow-9\text{x}+5\text{x}=160$
$\Rightarrow-4\text{x}=160$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{160}{-4}=-40^\circ$
$\therefore-40^\circ\text{F}=-40^\circ\text{C}$

Artificial diamond crystals have been manufactured by subjecting carbon in the form of graphite to a pressure of 1.55 × 1010Nm-2 at a high temperature. Assuming that natural dimonds were formed at similar high pressures within the earth, what must have been the original volume o the Kohinoor diamond, whose mass before cutting was about 175g? The density of the diamond= 3.5g/ cm-3 and its bulk modulus = 62 × 1010Nm-2.
