Chapter 1, Problem 1.116QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given temperatures have to be ranked from coldest to hottest, zero degree Celsius, zero degree Fahrenheit, zero Kelvin.

Concept Introduction:

The temperatures can be converted from one scale to other scale by the following conversion factors:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{conversion}\text{of}\text{Celsius}\text{into}\text{Fahrenheit:}\\ {\text{T}}_{{}^{\text{°}}\text{F}}\text{=}\left(\text{1}\text{.8}\text{×}{\text{T}}_{{}^{\text{°}}\text{C}}\right)\text{+}\text{32}\\ \text{conversion}\text{of}\text{Fahrenheit}\text{into}\text{Celsius:}\\ {\text{T}}_{{}^{\text{°}}\text{C}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{T}}_{{}^{\text{°}}\text{F}}\text{-}\text{32}}{\text{1}\text{.8}}\\ \text{conversion}\text{of}\text{Celsius}\text{into}\text{Kelvin:}\\ {\text{T}}_{\text{K}}\text{=}{\text{T}}_{{}^{\text{°}}\text{C}}\text{+}\text{273}\text{.15}\end{array}$
