F and 75
o
F.
Express these temperature limits in
o
C. Convert the size of this temperature range (10
o

o
C, and R. Is there any difference in the size of this range as measured in
relative or absolute units?
a) 18.3 to 23.9
o
C
b) This range is 10
o
F, 5.6
o
C, 10 R, and 5.6 K.
c) No difference between relative and absolute units (within same system).

5. A 4-kW resistance heater in a water heater runs for 2 hours to raise the water
temperature to the desired level. Determine the amount of electric energy used in both
kWh and kJ .
E=4 kW* 2 hrs =8 kWh
E =4 kW * 2 hrs * (3600sec/hr) =28,800 kJ
