It took 14 sec for a mercury thermometer to rise from -19°C to 100°C when it was taken from a freezer and placed in boiling water. Show that somewhere along the way the mercury was rising at the rate of 8.5°C/sec.

The average temperature increase is 10.6 F/s so at some point in the interval the mercury has to be rising at 10.6 F/s which would imply that it passed 10.1 F/s
