Chapter 1, Problem 1.103QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The average body temperature of a cow is $\text{101}{\text{.5}}^{\text{°}}\text{F}$.  This temperature has to be expressed in degree Celsius and in Kelvins using correct number of significant figures.

Concept Introduction:

The conversion factor used to convert degree Fahrenheit into degree Celsius is

  ${\text{T}}_{\text{C}}\text{=}\left({\text{T}}_{\text{F}}\text{-}{\text{32}}^{\text{°}}\text{F}\right)\text{×}\left(\frac{\text{1}{\text{.0}}^{\text{°}}\text{C}}{\text{1}{\text{.8}}^{\text{°}}\text{F}}\right)$

The conversion factor used to convert degree Celsius into Kelvin is

  ${\text{T}}_{\text{K}}\text{=}{\text{T}}_{\text{C}}\text{+}\text{273}\text{.15}$
