Chapter 1, Problem 1.65QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given temperature in Fahrenheit, it should be expressed in degree Celsius of percentage of error expected from thermometer in measuring person’s body temperature of 38.9 degree C.

Concept Introduction:

  • Conversional formula from Celsius to Fahrenheit,

Fo=(o9oF5oC)+32Fo

  • Conversional formula from Fahrenheit to Celsius

oC=(Fo32Fo)×5oC9oF

  • Conversional formula from Celsius to Kelvin,

K=C+273.15

Suppose that a new temperature scale has been devised on which the melting point of some compound (−103.6°C) and the boiling point of the same compound (87.2°C) are taken as 0°S and 100°S, respectively, where S is the symbol for the new temperature scale. Derive an equation relating a reading on this scale to a reading on the Celsius scale. What would this thermometer read at 22.6°C?(Answer should be in °S)
The volume of a sphere is 4πr3/3, where r is the radius. One student measured the radius to be 4.34 cm. Another measured the radius to be 4.37 cm. What is the difference in volume between the two measurements?
A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 20° F. After one-half minute the thermometer reads 50° F. What is the reading of the thermometer at t = 1 min? (Round your answer to two decimal places 38 F How long will it take for the thermometer to reach 25° F? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 2.50 x min
