Programming Assignment 10

 

Tomorrow is predicted to be blustery and cold!  Write a C++ program to produce a table of wind-chill factors.  This number, based on both the temperature and the wind speed, is used to indicate the relative coldness we experience when outside.

 

The formula for the wind-chill factor is

 

wcf = 91.4 - (0.486 + 0.305 * sqrt(s) - 0.02 * s) * (91.4 - temp)

 

where s is the wind speed and temp the temperature.  You should write this formula as a function.

 

Your program should print a table of wind chill factors as a function of temperature and wind speed where the temperature ranges from -500 to 500 Fahrenheit and the wind speed ranges from 5 to 50 miles per hour.  Use a function to calculate the wind chill factor.

 

Your output should appear similar to the following:

 

 

      Wind Chill Factor Table (Degrees F)

 

Temperature               Wind Speed (Miles per Hour)

Reading (Deg F)   5  10  15  20  25  30  35  40  45  50

    -50

    -45

    -40

    etc. 

     20                         -16

    etc.

     50

 

 

One of the values of the wind chill factor has been shown to enable you to check your computation.

 

 

 

Make sure your program works correctly.
