Chapter 2.8, Problem 2.21P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature $\text{98}{\text{.6}}^{\text{o}}\text{F}$ has to be converted to Celsius and Kelvin.

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 $\left({}^{\text{o}}\text{F}\right)$

Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion:

Fahrenheit can be converted to Celsius using the formula,

  ${}^{\text{o}}\text{C=}\frac{{}^{\text{o}}\text{F-32}}{\text{1}\text{.8}}$

Celsius to Kelvin conversion:

Celsius can be converted to kelvin using the formula,

  ${\text{K=}}^{\text{o}}\text{C+273}\text{.15}$
