Answer :

The conversion used for the temperature from Fahrenheit to degree Celsius is:

[tex]^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)[/tex]

The conversion used for the temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin is:

[tex]K=^oC+273[/tex]

(a) [tex]1.06^oF[/tex]

[tex]^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)[/tex]

[tex]^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (1.06^oF-32)[/tex]

[tex]^oC=-17.188[/tex]

The temperature in degree Celsius is, [tex]-17.188^oC[/tex]

[tex]K=^oC+273[/tex]

[tex]K=-17.188+273[/tex]

[tex]K=255.812[/tex]

The temperature in Kelvin is, 255.812 K

(b) [tex]3410^oC[/tex]

[tex]^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)[/tex]

[tex]3410^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)[/tex]

[tex]^oF=6106[/tex]

The temperature in degree Fahrenheit is, [tex]6106^oF[/tex]

[tex]K=^oC+273[/tex]

[tex]K=3410+273[/tex]

[tex]K=3683[/tex]

The temperature in Kelvin is, 3683 K

(c) [tex]6.1\times 10^3K[/tex]

[tex]K=^oC+273[/tex]

[tex]6.1\times 10^3K=^oC+273[/tex]

[tex]^oC=5827[/tex]

The temperature in degree Celsius is, [tex]5827^oC[/tex]

[tex]^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)[/tex]

[tex]5827^oC=\frac{5}{9}\times (^oF-32)[/tex]

[tex]^oF=10456.6[/tex]

The temperature in degree Fahrenheit is, [tex]10456.6^oF[/tex]
