Newton's Degree

Newton's degree (° N) is a unit of temperature that is not currently used.

The temperature scale of Newton was developed by Isaac Newton in 1701 to conduct thermophysical studies and was probably the prototype of the Celsius scale .

Newton used flaxseed oil as a thermometric fluid. For zero degrees Newton took the freezing point of fresh water, and he designated the temperature of the human body as 12 degrees. Thus, the boiling point of water was equal to 33 degrees.

The formula for converting Newton degrees to Celsius and back:

$[\mathrm {^{o}C} ]={\frac {100}{33}}[\mathrm {^{o}N} ]$ ${\ displaystyle [\ mathrm {^ {o} C}] = {\ frac {100} {33}} [\ mathrm {^ {o} N}]}$ $[\ mathrm {^ oC}] = \ frac {100} {33} [\ mathrm {^ oN}]$

$[\mathrm {^{o}N} ]={\frac {33}{100}}[\mathrm {^{o}C} ]$ ${\ displaystyle [\ mathrm {^ {o} N}] = {\ frac {33} {100}} [\ mathrm {^ {o} C}]}$ $[\ mathrm {^ oN}] = \ frac {33} {100} [\ mathrm {^ oC}]$
