Answer to Problem 7E

A person with body temperature of 400C is sick because on a Celsius scale, it is more than 370C which is considered to be normal body temperature.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

A person has a body temperature of 400C.

A clinical thermometer is an instrument used to measure a person’s body temperature. It has a range of 350C to 420C. The normal body temperature of humans is considered to be 370C. Any temperature above 370C is considered to be abnormal. So, a person whose body temperature is 400C is sick as this temperature is more than normal body temperature.

Conclusion

The liquid used in clinical thermometer is mercury. The level of mercury in the glass tube indicates the temperature of the body.
