Chapter 2.8, Problem 2.20P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature $\text{4}\text{K}$ has to be converted to Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Concept Introduction:

Temperature:  The measurement of hotness or coldness of an object is temperature.  The three temperature scales as,

1. 1) Celsius $\left({}^{\text{o}}\text{C}\right)$
2. 2) Kelvin $\left(\text{K}\right)$
3. 3) Fahrenheit $\left({}^{\text{o}}\text{F}\right)$

Kelvin to Celsius conversion:

Kelvin can be converted to celsius using the formula,

  $\begin{array}{l}{\text{K=}}^{\text{o}}\text{C+273}\text{.15}\\ {}^{\text{o}}\text{C=K-273}\text{.15}\end{array}$

Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion:

Celsius can be converted to Fahrenheit using the formula,

  ${}^{\text{o}}\text{F=1}\text{.8}\left({}^{\text{o}}\text{C}\right)\text{+32}$
