EASY

The resistance of a thermistor at 0°C is 2000 Ω. At 100 °C the resistance falls to 200 Ω. When the thermistor is placed in water of constant temperature, its resistance is 620 Ω.

Assuming that the resistance of the thermistor varies linearly with temperature, calculate the temperature of the water.
