Concept Questions The drawing shows two thermometers, $A$ and $B$, whose temperatures are measured in ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{A}$ and ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{B}$. The ice and boiling points of water are also indicated. (a) Is the size of one degree on the A scale larger than, the same as, or smaller than on the B scale? Why? (b) Is a given temperature on the A scale (e.g., $+20^{\circ} \mathrm{A}$ ) hotter than, the same as, or colder than the same reading on the B scale (e.g., $+20^{\circ} \mathrm{B}$ )? Provide a reason for your answer.
Problem (a) Using the data in the drawing, determine the number of $\mathrm{B}^{\circ}$ on the B scale that correspond to $1 \mathrm{~A}^{\circ}$ on the A scale. (b) If the temperature of a substance reads $+40.0^{\circ}$ A on the A scale, what would that temperature read on the B scale?
