Question

The temperature-humidity index (THI), sometimes called the discomfort index, is given by f(d,w)- 15+0.4(d+w) where d is the "dry-bulb temperature" (essentially the ambient-air temperature) and w is the 'wet-bulb temperature" (which reflects the relative humidity as well as the temperature). When the THI is 75 or more, most people are uncomfortable. Find the THI and determine whether most people feel comfortable or uncomfortable under the given conditions. a. d 82° and w 62 b, d=82° and w = 72? a. THI (8262) Enter your answer in the answer box and then click Check Answer Check Answer Clear All

Explanation / Answer

Given that

f(d,w)=15+0.4(d+w)

a. here d=82,w=62

so f(82,62)=15+0.4(82+62)

=72.60

Ans;72.6
