Newton to Fahrenheit

Newton to Fahrenheit scale

The Newton temperature scale was defined by Isaac Newton in 1701 setting as 0 on this scale "the heat of air in winter at which water begins to freeze", or in other words, 0 as in Celsius scale, and the value 33 for "heat at which water begins to boil", so around 100 ℃, being exactly 100 the value commonly used for conversions between both scales. The Newton is represented as °N after the value.

The Fahrenheit temperature scale was proposed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724 with the idea of starting from a brine solution freezes as 0, and 96 is the average temperature of human body. Its unit is represented with ℉ after the value.

The Fahrenheit degree values are calculated based on the formula $$Newton × {60 \over 11} + 32$$
