Calculate the temperature which has the same value on fahernheit scale and kelvin scale.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the required temperature be y. i.e., `T_F = T_K = y `then we have
`=( y-32)/(180) = (y -273.15 )/(100)`
or ,`5y -160 =9y -2458.35`
`or, 4y =- 160 +2458.35`
` therefore y=574.59`
thus `574.59^@` F and 574.59 K are equivalent temperatures.
