Problem

The wind chill factor on a certain planet is given by the following formula, where $v$ is the wind speed (in meters per second) and $t$ is the air temperature $\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right.$ ). Complete parts (a) through (c). \[ W=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} t & 0 \leq v<1.79 \\ 33-\frac{(10.43+10 \sqrt{v}-v)(33-t)}{22.03} & 1.79 \leq v \leq 25 \\ 33-1.5957(33-t) & v>25 \end{array}\right. \] (a) Find the wind chill for an air temperature of $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and a wind speed of $0.75 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}$. \[ \mathrm{w} \approx \square^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \] \[ \mathrm{C} \] (Round to the nearest degree as needed.)

Solution

Step 1 :Given that the air temperature $t$ is $5^\circ \mathrm{C}$ and the wind speed $v$ is $0.75 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}$, we can see that $0 \leq v<1.79$. Therefore, we should use the first part of the formula, which is $W=t$.

Step 2 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get: $W = t$

Step 3 :So, $W = 5^\circ \mathrm{C}$

Step 4 :Therefore, the wind chill for an air temperature of $5^\circ \mathrm{C}$ and a wind speed of $0.75 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{sec}$ is approximately $5^\circ \mathrm{C}$.

Step 5 :\(\boxed{W = 5^\circ \mathrm{C}}\)
