Temperature Conversions
1. The problem asks to convert 60°C to °F.
2. The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is $$F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32$$.
3. Substitute $C=60$ into the formula:
$$F = \frac{9}{5} \times 60 + 32 = 108 + 32 = 140$$
So, 60°C is equivalent to 140°F.
4. Next, convert 120°F to °C.
5. The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is $$C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$$.
6. Substitute $F=120$:
$$C = \frac{5}{9}(120 - 32) = \frac{5}{9} \times 88 = 48.89$$
So, 120°F is approximately 48.89°C.
7. Convert 300°K to °R.
8. The relation between Kelvin and Rankine is $$R = \frac{9}{5}K$$.
9. Substitute $K=300$:
$$R = \frac{9}{5} \times 300 = 540$$
So, 300°K is equivalent to 540°R.
10. Convert 1200°R to °K.
11. Using the inverse relation $$K = \frac{5}{9}R$$.
12. Substitute $R=1200$:
$$K = \frac{5}{9} \times 1200 = 666.67$$
So, 1200°R is approximately 666.67°K.
13. If the °F scale is thrice the °C scale, find the values of °F and °C.
14. Let $C = x$, then $F = 3x$.
15. Using the conversion formula $$F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32$$, substitute $F=3x$:
$$3x = \frac{9}{5}x + 32$$
16. Multiply both sides by 5:
$$15x = 9x + 160$$
17. Subtract $9x$ from both sides:
$$6x = 160$$
18. Solve for $x$:
$$x = \frac{160}{6} = 26.67$$
19. So, $C = 26.67$ and $F = 3 \times 26.67 = 80$.
Final answers:
1. 60°C = 140°F
2. 120°F = 48.89°C
3. 300°K = 540°R
4. 1200°R = 666.67°K
5. If °F is thrice °C, then °C = 26.67 and °F = 80.
