how do i make a new temperature scale?

Question

i have to make a new temperature scale with a conversion to either celsius or kelvin. please help me.

Answer 1

First, you have to determine the scale based on something that is consistent at a certain temperature. For instance, on the Celsius scale, zero degrees C represents the temperature that water will solidify (freeze) at sea level - and 100 degrees C represents the temperature, again at sea level, that water will boil. Your scale could be based on the same examples or some other consistent phenomenon. You have to establish two points on your scale (when an element or compound freezes, and again when it boils - or when it solidifies and when it evaporates or when it liquefies, and so on) Once these two points are established and you determine what numbers you assign them, you can set up a simple conversion to the C scale based on the corresponding temperatures (C) that occur on your scale.

The simplest way would be to simply call your new scale XY, add 25 degrees to the Celsius scale, and now water freezes at 25 degrees XY and boils at 125 degrees XY. Your scale conversion is equally simple: XY=C+25.
That probably won't get you honorable mention for your effort, but it's an A for ingenuity in finding the simplest solution!

put it next to a small wall. then shout 'monster!' it will then jump and climb the wall to hide. Hence scaling
