Question 41

Q5Multiple choiceExercise 4.4

If the temperature of a liquid can be measured in Kelvin units as x°K or in Fahrenheit units as y°F, the relation between the two systems of measurement of temperature is given by the linear equation y= (x – 273) + 32

Show answer

(i) Find the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit if the temperature of the liquid is 313°K.

(ii) If the temperature is 158° F, then find the temperature in Kelvin.
