Question

The normal body temperature is ${98.6}^{o}F$. What would the corresponding temperatures(a) the celsius scale and (b) the kelvin scale

Answer 1

(a) Given that $F=98.6$.
Therefore $C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)=\frac{5}{9}(98.6-32)=37$.

Thus, the corresponding temperature on the Celsius scale is ${37}^{o}C$

Using $K=273+C$

So, $K=273+37=310$ Kelvin
