Electrical Engineering

The higher the wind speed, the quicker a body cools. To quantifythis wind speed chilling effect, both the U.S. and Canadian weatherservices have determined wind chill temperatures for temperaturesbelow 50°F and wind speeds above 4 mph in the United States andtemperatures below 10°C and wind speeds above 4.8 km/hr in Canada.An approximation of the official wind chill temperature, for bothmetric and English units, is given by this formula:

WCI = K1 + 0.6125 Ta -K2Ws0.16 +K3TaWs0.16
The following chart lists the correct dimensions and values forboth systems of units:

Using the wind chill formula, write, compile, and run a C++program that displays a table of wind chill indexes fortemperatures from 2°C to 10°C, in 4-degree increments, and for eachtemperature, wind speeds from 5 km/hr to 11 km/hr in 2-km/hrincrements.
