Two thermometers are calibrated, one in degrees Celsius and the other in degrees Fahrenheit. At what temperature (in kelvins) do their readings measure the same temperature?
Ankur S.
(a) At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales give the same reading? (b) Is there any temperature at which the Kelvin and Celsius scales coincide?
Temperature Scales The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are related by the equation $C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)$ These scales have the same temperature reading at a unique value where $F=C .$ Find this temperature.
