Question

The Wind Chill Factor (WCF) measures how cold it feels with a given air tem- perature T (in degrees Fahrenheit) and wind speed V (in miles per hour]. One formula for WCF is WCF = 35.7 +0.6 T – 35.7 (v.¹6) + 0.43 T (V³¹¹6) Write a function to receive the temperature and wind speed as input arguments. and return the WCF. Using loops, print a table showing wind chill factors for temperatures ranging from -20 to 55. and wind speeds ranging from 0 to 55 Call the function to calculate each wind chill factor

Answer 1

Here is some Python code to implement the function you described:

def calculate_wcf(temperature, wind_speed):

wcf = 35.7 + 0.6 * temperature - 35.7 * wind_speed ** 0.16 + 0.43 * temperature * wind_speed ** 0.16

return wcf

# Print table of wind chill factors

print("Temperature\tWind Speed\tWind Chill Factor")

for temp in range(-20, 56):

for speed in range(0, 56):

wcf = calculate_wcf(temp, speed)

print(f"{temp}\t\t{speed}\t\t{wcf:.2f}")

This code defines a function calculate_wcf() which takes in temperature and wind speed as input arguments and returns the wind chill factor calculated using the formula you provided. It then prints a table of wind chill factors for temperatures ranging from -20 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit and wind speeds ranging from 0 to 55 miles per hour, using nested loops to calculate each value and call the calculate_wcf() function.
