Answer to Question #7065 in Electricity and Magnetism for gian

Question

you place a small or ice in your mouth.Eventually,the water all converts from ice at T1=32F to the body temperature,T2=98.6F. Express this temperature to C and K and find T in both cases?

Answer 1

Here are formulas converting C to K and vice versa:

Fahrenheit -> Celcius /5*9 +32
Celius -> (Fahrenheit-32)/9*5

So, T1=32°F = (32-32)/9*5 = 0°C;
T2=98.6°F = (98.6-32)/9*5 = 37°C.
