Question

Wind chill (C) is computed from the air temperature (T) and wind speed (W): C = 35.7 + 0.6T - 35.7W^0.16 + 0.43TW^0.1e Write a statement that assigns windChill (C) with the wind chill given airTemp (T) and windSpeed (W). Example: If airTemp is 32 and windSpeed is 10, then windChill is assigned with 23.1871.

Answer 1

To find the wind speed that makes -10°C feel like -29°C, one needs to solve for W in the wind chill equation with the given temperatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine at what wind speed an air temperature of -10°C causes the same chill factor as still air at -29°C, we need to use the formula for wind chill. The wind chill (C) is given by the equation:

C = 35.7 + 0.6T - 35.7W^0.16 + 0.43TW^0.1e

We will set air temperature (T) to -10°C, and we need to find the wind speed (W) that results in a wind chill equivalent to still air at -29°C. Solving for W:

C = -29°C
T = -10°C

Plugging these values into the wind chill equation and solving for W, will provide the desired wind speed.
