In a type of cancer treatment called the thermotherapy, temperature as high as 113F are used to destroy cancer cells. What is that temperature in C and kelvin?
Celsius :(Fahrenheit _ 32)×5÷9
=(113_32)×5÷9
=81×5÷9
=405÷9
=45
The temperature in Celsius is 45°C
Kelvin:(F_32)×5÷9+273.15
=(113_32)×5÷9+273.15
=81×5÷9+273.15
=45+273.15
=318.15K
The temperature in Kelvin is 318.15K

Problem 23.18: High-energy cancer treatment. Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahigh-energy in the range of 1012 W) pulses of electromagnetic waves that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.0 pm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 3.4...
