Show hintHide hint
Use the formula T(°C) = T(K) - 273.15.
Question 2.
What is the coefficient of linear expansion for steel?
Show hintHide hint
Look for it in material properties.
3Question 3.
What is the conversion from Kelvin to Celsius?
- T(°C) = T(K) - 273
- T(°C) = T(K) - 273.15
- T(°C) = T(K) + 273.15
