What does conversion of 475K into celsius scale does?
A. 301.85∘C
B. 273∘C
C. 207∘C
D. 201.85∘C
Solution
Unit to measure temperature is Clecius, kelvin and Fahrenheit. The conversion of these units is as: Between celsius and kelvin 0∘C+273.15=273.15K. The temperature −40∘C is the same as −40K.
Complete step by step solution:
First of all let us talk about some physical quantities and their units.
Pressure: It is defined as force applied perpendicular to an object per unit area. Unit of pressure is as: We know that the unit of force is newton (N) and unit of area is m2. So the unit of pressure is N/m2.
Temperature: It is used to measure the warmth or coldness of an object with reference to the standard value. For example: The normal temperature of human body is 98.6F. Unit to measure temperature is Clecius, kelvin and Fahrenheit. The conversion of these units is as: Between celsius and kelvin 0∘C+273.15=273.15K. Hence, we can say that zero celsius means 273.15K. And the conversion of Fahrenheit and celsius is as: temperature in celsius multiply by 59 plus 32 is equal to temperature in Fahrenheit i.e. ∘C×59+32=F. Hence we can say that zero Celsius means 32∘F. Now, if we want to know the temperature at which Celsius and Fahrenheit are the same.
Then, we can calculate it as:
Let the temperature be x then,
⇒x×59+32=x ⇒9x+160=5x ⇒4x=−160 ⇒x=−40 .
Hence, we can say that at −40∘F the temperature is the same as −40∘C. And similarly 0∘C temperature is the same as 273.15K.
Now, in the question we are given the temperature in the kelvin unit and we have to find the temperature in the celsius unit. When we have to convert celsius to kelvin then we have to add 273.15 to the celsius unit. And if we want to convert kelvin to celsius then we have to subtract 273.15 from the kelvin unit. Hence, if we have to do conversion of 475K into celsius scale then subtract 273.15 from the kelvin i.e.
⇒∘C=475−273.15 ⇒∘C=201.85∘C .
Hence, option D is correct.
Note: Volume is defined as the space of three dimensional structure. For example: the volume of a cube is defined as the cube of its edge length. It is measured in m3 or cm3 and 1m=100cm. And the volume of the sphere is as: 34πr3 where r is radius of the sphere.
