The relative humidity is higher at Harry’s school than at Roberta’s house.
The relative humidity is higher at Roberta’s house than at Harry’s school.
The relative humidity is the same at Harry’s school and Roberta’s house.The relative humidity is 45% at Harry’s school and 50





at Roberta’s house.Harry uses a sling psychrometer to measure relative humidity near his school. The dry bulb temperature reads 58°F, and the wet bulb reads 45°F. At the same time, his cousin Roberta uses her sling psychrometer to measure the relative humidity near her house. The dry bulb temperature reads 58°F, and the wet bulb reads 50°F. What can you conclude from the values? answer cjoices  are at the top 

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 3. From the wet bulb and dry bulb temperature, together with the use of a psychrometric chart, we can say that the relative humidity is the same at Harry’s school and Roberta’s house. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer : Option B) The relative humidity is higher at Roberta’s house than at Harry’s school.

Explanation : The relative humidity can be measured using the reference chart attached in the answer.

With the given information, we can find the relative humidity near Harry's school will be difference between the temperatures of dry and wet bulb respectively, which comes to 58 - 45 = 13 °C;

Whereas, the relative humidity at Roberta's house will be 58 - 50 = 8 °C;

It is clear that Roberta's house if much humid than Harry's school.

The percentage of relative humidity at Harry's School is 17 % whereas at Roberta's house it is 39.1 %.

This clearly states that Relative humidity observed at Roberta's house is greater than Harry's school.
