ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 6
In the given problem, we need to calculate the temperature in kelvin scale using the given different temperatures in celsius scale under different conditions.
- To convert from Celsius to Kelvin scale,
+ 273.15
Where and are the temperatures in kelvin and celsius scales respectively.
