Assume that the temperature outside is 293 Kelvin but you’re familiar only with the Fahrenheit scale. Do you need to wear a hat and gloves when you go outside? To find out, convert the Kelvin temperature to Fahrenheit. (Hint: Convert the Kelvin temperature to Celsius first.)

Respuesta :

Given,

The temperature in Kelvin, T_K=293 K

The temperature can be converted into Celcius using the formula,

[tex]T_C=T_K-273[/tex]

On substituting the known values,

[tex]\begin{gathered} T_C=293-273_{} \\ =20\text{ }\degree\text{C} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The temperature can be converted from Celcius to Fahrenheit using the equation,

[tex]T_F=(T_C\times\frac{9}{5})+32[/tex]

On substituting the known values,

[tex]\begin{gathered} T_F=20\times\frac{9}{5}+32 \\ =68\text{ }\degree\text{F} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus 293 K in Fahrenheit is 68 °F
