100oC .... 1.05\(\theta\)
\(\theta\)oC .... 0.9\(\theta\)
0oC .... 0.75\(\theta\)
\(\frac{\theta - 0}{100 - 0}\) = \(\frac{0.9 - 0.75}{1.05 - 0.75}\)
\(\theta\) = 50oC
\(\theta\)oC .... 0.9\(\theta\)
0oC .... 0.75\(\theta\)
\(\frac{\theta - 0}{100 - 0}\) = \(\frac{0.9 - 0.75}{1.05 - 0.75}\)
\(\theta\) = 50oC
