Question asked by Filo student

How are the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales of temp related From the lower and the upper fixed point on $\text{ lce point }=0^{\circ }\mathrm{C}=32^{\circ }\mathrm{F}$ Then, Steam point $=100^{\circ }\mathrm{C}=2122^{\circ }\mathrm{F}$$100^{\circ }\mathrm{C}-0^{\circ }\mathrm{C}=212^{\circ }\mathrm{F}-32^{\circ }\mathrm{F}$$100^{\circ }\mathrm{C}=180^{\circ }\mathrm{F}$ Thus, the size of a degree on the Celsius scale is larger thas If Fahrenheit scale. Therefore, 1 division on the Celsius scate 100 divisions on the Fahrenheit scale. If $\mathrm{C}$ is the temperature on the Celsius scale and $\mathrm{F}$ is the temperen Fahrenheit scale, then $C$ divisions on the Celsius scale $=\frac{180}{100}\times \mathrm{C}$ divisions on the fat scale also, $\mathrm{C}$ divisions on the Celsius scale $=(\mathrm{F}-32)$ divisions on the Fathane $)$ scale So, $(\mathrm{F}-32)=\frac{180}{100}\times \mathrm{C}$ This gives $\frac{C}{100}=\frac{F-32}{180}$ Eq. $8.2$ describes the relationship between the temperature an s Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. Eq. $8.2$ may be rewritten as, $\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{F}=\frac{9}{5}\mathrm{C}+32\\ \mathrm{C}=\frac{5}{9}(\mathrm{F}-32)\end{array}$ 8 where $\mathrm{C}$ is the temperature in ${}^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{F}$ is the temperature in ${}^{\circ }\mathrm{F}$. $\mathrm{F}$. equations can be simplified to $\begin{array}{l}F=1.8C+32\\ C=0.556(F-32)\end{array}$ where $\mathrm{C}$ is the temperature in ${}^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{F}$ is the temperature in ${}^{\circ }\mathrm{F}$.
