Question

A correct Celsius thermometer reads 60°C, whereas a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 141°F at the same temperature. Find Fahrenheit error (°F).

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Corresponding correct Fahrenheit temperature=(9/5)×60+32=140°F. Step 2: Faulty reading=141°F. Step 3: Absolute error=|141−140|=1°F.
