Chapter 18, Problem 5P
Death Valley holds the record for the highest recorded temperature in the United States. On July 10, 1913, at a place called Furnace Creek Ranch, the temperature rose to 134°F. The lowest U.S. temperature ever recorded occurred at Prospect Creek Camp in Alaska on January 23, 1971, when the temperature plummeted to −79.8°F. (a) Convert these temperatures to the Celsius scale. (b) Convert the Celsius temperatures to Kelvin.
