A Formula Used by Meteorologists to Calculate the Wind Chill

question 194

Short Answer

A formula used by meteorologists to calculate the wind chill temperature (the temperature that you feel in still air that is the same as the actual temperature when the presence of wind is taken into consideration) is ​
where t is the actual air temperature in °F and S is the wind speed in mph.
​What is the wind chill temperature when the actual air temperature is 52 °F and the wind speed is 30 mph? Please round the answer to the nearest °F
​T=__________ °F
​If the temperature is 52 °F, by how much approximately will the wind chill temperature change if the wind speed increases from 30 mph to 31 mph? Please round the answer to the nearest tenth.
​T=__________ °F
