Express a temperature of `60^@ F` in degrees Celsius and in kelvin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By using` (C-0^@)/(100^@-0^@) = (F-32^(@)) / (212^(@)-32^(@))= (K-273.12-15)/ (373.15-273.15)`
` implies (C- 0^(@))/(100^(@)-0^(@))= (60^(@)-32^(@))/(212^(@)-32^(@)) = (K-273.15)/(373.15-273.15) implies C=15.55^(@)C` and `K =288.70 K`
