Question
You propose a new temperature scale with temperatures
given in °M. You define 0.0°M to be the normal melting point of mercury
and 100.0°M to be the normal boiling point of mercury. (a) What
is the normal boiling point of water in °M? (b) A temperature change of
10.0 M° corresponds to how many C°?
