5. The term "wind chill" was first used in 1939. During the 1940s, experiments were conducted on the time needed to freeze water in a plastic cylinder that was exposed to the elements. They found that the time depended on how warm the water was, the outside temperature and the wind speed. The original formulas used to calculate wind chill were based on those experiments. In the fall of 2001, the U.S. National Weather Service and the Canadian weather replaced the original formula with a new one formula, which is based on greater scientific knowledge and on experiments that tested how fast the faces of volunteers cooled in a wind tunnel with various combinations of wind and temperature. The two versions of the equation are shown below, where T is the air temperature in F and V is the wind speed in mph. WCold = 0.0817(3.71V + 5.81 -0.25V)(T-91.4) + 91.4 WCnew = 35.74 +0.62157-35.75V0.16 +0.4275TV0.16 a. Create a table (matrix) called "results30", where the first column is wind speed from 0 to 75 mph, the 2nd column is wind chill based on the old equation, and the 3rd column is the wind chill based on the new equation - when the air temperature is 30F. b. Create a 2nd table (matrix) called "results0", where everything is the same as part a, except now the air temperature is 0 F.
