A resistance thermometer is a thermometer in which the electrical resistance changes with temperature. We are free to define temperatures measured by such a thermometer in kelvins (K) to be directly proportional to the resistance R, measured in ohms (Ω). A certain resistance thermometer is found to have a resistance R of 90.35 Ω When its bulb is placed in water at triple-point temperature (273.16 K). what temperature is indicated by the thermometer if the bulb is placed in an environment such that its resistance is 96.28 Ω?
