| A temperature of a body is measured to be 26°C. Determine the temperature in °R, K and °F. | |||||||||
| Read : | Not much to read here. | ||||||||
| Given : | T | 26 |
°C | ||||||
| Solution : | The relationship between Kelvin and Celsius is simplest, so let's begin there. | ||||||||
 |
Eqn 1 | ||||||||
| Answer : | Therefore : | T(K) | 299.15 |
K | |||||
| The relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit is also fairly simple, so let's work on that next. | |||||||||
|
Eqn 2 | ||||||||
| Answer : | Therefore : | T(°F) | 78.8 |
°F | |||||
| There are two straightforward ways to determine T(°R) at this point. | |||||||||
| We can either convert T(K) to T(°R) or we can convert T(°F) to T(°R). | |||||||||
| Let's try both methods, just to be thorough. | |||||||||
| Answer : | |
Eqn 3 | T(°R) | 538.47 | °R | ||||
| Alternatively : | |
||||||||
| T(°R) | 538.47 | °R | |||||||
