Convert the following temperatures to the Celsius scale.

(a) 283k


(b) 570k

a) Temperature in kelvin = Temperature in Celsius + 273


T(K) = 273 + T(°C)


Using same formula,


283 = 273 + T(°C)


T(°C) = 283-273


T(°C) = 10°C


b) Using above formula,


T(K) = 273 + T(°C)


T(°C) = T(k)-273


T(°C) = 570-273


T(°C) = 297°C
