The temperatures of two bodies differ by 1°C. How much will they differ on Fahrenheit scale?
Show Hint
- 1°F
- 1.2°F
- 2.4°F
- 1.8°F
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The problem requires us to convert a temperature difference from Celsius to Fahrenheit. The conversion formula between Celsius and Fahrenheit is:
F = (C × 9/5) + 32
For temperature differences, the constant 32 does not affect the result, so we only need:
ΔF = ΔC × 9/5
Given that the temperature difference ΔC is 1°C:
ΔF = 1 × 9/5 = 9/5 = 1.8°F
Thus, the temperature difference of 1°C corresponds to a difference of 1.8°F on the Fahrenheit scale. The correct answer is 1.8°F.
Top Questions on work, energy and power
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: An object moves from position \( \vec{r}_1 \) to position \( \vec{r}_2 \) under a conservative force field \( \vec{F} \). The work done by the force is \[ W = -\int_{\vec{r}_1}^{\vec{r}_2} \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r}. \]
Statement II: Any object moving from one location to another location can follow infinite number of paths. Therefore, the amount of work done by the object changes with the path it follows for a conservative force.

- Two masses \(m\) and \(2m\) are connected by a light string going over a pulley (disc) of mass \(30m\) with radius \(r=0.1\,\text{m}\). The pulley is mounted in a vertical plane and is free to rotate about its axis. The \(2m\) mass is released from rest and its speed when it has descended through a height of \(3.6\,\text{m}\) is ____________ m/s. (Assume string does not slip and \(g=10\,\text{m s}^{-2}\)).
