Solution:
K = 30 + 273.15 K = 303.15
= 122
Therefore, 50°C = 122°F
Solution:
Fahrenheit to Kelvin conversion formula is given by:
K = (F − 32) × 5⁄9 + 273.15
= (113 – 32) × (5/9) + 273.15
= 81 × (5/9) + 273.15
= 45 + 273.15
= 318.15
Therefore, 113°F = 318.15 K
Solution:
Kelvin to Celsius conversion formula is given by:
C = K – 273.15
= 225 – 273.15
= -48.15
Therefore, 225 K = -48.15°C
Example 1: We know that one degree Celsius is equal to 273.15 Kelvin. Calculate 30°C in Kelvin.
Solution:
To find: Convert 30°C in Kelvin.
Given,
K = 30 + 273.15 K = 303.15 K
= 303.15 K
Example 2: The body temperature is generally 98.6ºF. Find the body temperature in Celsius
using temperature conversion formulas.
Solution:
Given,
C = (F − 32) × 5/9
= 37°C
