Chapter 3: Q. 3.81 (page 92)

Calculate each of the following temperatures in degrees Celsius and kelvins: (3.3)

a. The highest recorded temperature in the continental United States was 134°Fin Death Valley, California, on July 10, 1913

b. The lowest recorded temperature in the continental United States was -69.7°Fin Rodgers Pass, Montana, on January 20,1954

Short Answer

Expert verified

(Part a) The temperature is measured in degrees Celsius56.7°C.

(Part b) The temperature is expressed in degrees Celsius -56.7°C.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (Part a)

We have to find temperature in degree Celsius .

02

Explanation (Part a)

The temperature is

T=134°F

In this case, we must convert Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius.

TC=TF-321.8

Substitute Fahrenheit's value134°Finto the above equation

TC=134-321.8=1021.8=56.7°C

As a result, the temperature is expressed in degrees Celsius56.7°C.

Comment

03

Given information (Part b)

We have to find temperature degrees in celsius

04

Explanation (Part b)

The temperature is

T=-69.7°F

In this case, we must convert Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius.

TC=TF-321.8

Substitute the Fahrenheit value-69.7°Finto the above equation.

TC=-69.7-321.8=-1021.8=-56.7°C

As a result, the temperature is expressed in degrees Celsius.-56.7°C.
