Problem

A hypothetical temperature scale for use at high temperatures, called the T-scale, is defined by identifying the melting point of tin (231.97 °C) as 100 °T and the melting point of tungsten (3415 °C) as 1000 °T.
  1. Derive an equation relating the T-scale temperature to the Celsius temperature.
  2. What is 473 °T on the Celsius scale?
