Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius

To convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula: \[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32) \] Substituting the given Fahrenheit temperature: \[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (6192 - 32) = \frac{5}{9} \times 6160 = 3422.2222 \]

Step 2: Convert Celsius to Kelvin

To convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, use the formula: \[ K = C + 273.15 \] Substituting the Celsius temperature: \[ K = 3422.2222 + 273.15 = 3695.3722 \]

Step 3: Round to Four Significant Digits

Round the Kelvin temperature to four significant digits: \[ K = 3695 \]
