Before we measure the body temperature jerk the thermometer a few times to bring the level of the mercury down.

The kink prevents the mercury from flowing back into the bulb when the thermometer is taken out of the patients mouth.

It is wrong. Clinical thermometer indicates only 35°C to 42°C. So hot water is greater than 42°C. So it is wrong.

No. Srinath is not suffering from fever. No person always has exactly the same temperature at every moment of the day. Temperature cycle regularly up and down through the day according to activities and external factors.

Yes, Ramani's statement is correct. I agree Ramani statement. because laboratory thermometer has no kink. When thermometer is taken out from the hot water, the mercury level will fall. We can't measure the correct temperature.

\(\begin{array}{|l|c|} \hline \text { Animals and birds } & \text { Temperature (celsius) } \\ \hline \text { Dog } & 37.5-39.09 \\ \hline \text { Cat } & 38.0-39.5 \\ \hline \text { Rabbit } & 38.5-39.5 \\ \hline \text { Pigeon } & 41.0-44.1 \\ \hline \text { Crow } & 40.0 \\ \hline \text { Chicken } & 41.7 \\ \hline \end{array}\)

F = 2 C
\(\mathrm{F}=\frac{9}{5 \mathrm{C}\ +\ 32}\)
when we substract 9/5 C from both sides
\(2 \mathrm{C}-9 / 5 \mathrm{C}=32 \quad\left(2 \mathrm{C}=\frac{10}{5 \mathrm{C}}\right) \)
\(\frac{10}{5 \mathrm{C}}-\frac{9}{5 \mathrm{C}}=32\)
\(\frac{1}{5 C} =32 \)
\(\frac{1}{C} =32 \times 5 \)
\(C = 160^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
So, F = 2 C
\(\mathrm{F} =2 \times 160=320^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\)
