Problem 43

The "wind chill factor" is a measurement of how cold it "feels" during cold, windy weather. Let \(W(w)\) be the wind chill factor, in degrees Fahrenheit, when it is \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) outside with a wind of \(w\) mph. (a) What are the units of \(W^{\prime}(w)\) ? (b) What would you expect the sign of \(W^{\prime}(10)\) to be?

Problem 44
