Question

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 1

According to the question , we can conclude from the values that the relative humidity is higher at Roberta's house than at Harry's school.

How can we conclude the above statement?

The relative humidity can be measured using the reference chart attached to the answer.

To calculate the relative humidity of the two cases mentioned in the question we are using the formula,

• It will be the difference between the temperatures of dry and wet bulb respectively.
• Relative humidity= T(Dry bulb) - T(Wet bulb)

According to the question, we can find the relative humidity near Harry's school. It will be,

Relative humidity= T(Dry bulb) - T(Wet bulb)

Or, Relative humidity= 58-45=13°C

For 13°C the relative humidity will be≈ 19%

According to the question, we can find the relative humidity near Roberta's house. It will be,

Relative humidity= T(Dry bulb) - T(Wet bulb)

Or, Relative humidity= 58-50=8°C

For 8°C the relative humidity will be≈ 44%

From the above calculation we can easily conclude that, the values of the relative humidity is higher at Roberta's house than at Harry's school.
