The Rankine (^oRa)temperature Scale Is Often Used in Engineering

question 105

Multiple Choice

The Rankine (^oRa) temperature scale is often used in engineering.Like the Kelvin scale,the Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale; but the size of a Rankine degree is the same as the size of a Fahrenheit degree.Thus,0 K = 0^oRa and 0^oF = 459.67^oRa.What is the temperature23.3^oC expressed on the Rankine scale?

• A)533.6^oRa
• B)296.5^oRa
• C)23.3oRa
• D)41.9^oRa
• E)315.1^oRa
