Cloud and Stability Problems
Due in class Thursday, October 21, 2010
We have already covered
the material necessary to complete questions 1-3. We will cover the material necessary
to complete the remaining questions this week (October 5 and 7). I made the due date two and one
half weeks from today (October 21) to give you time to finish up the term paper if necessary.
However, I do suggest that you start it early so that you can get
help if necessary.
Please do not print and include the questions with the homework that you submit,
only the answers are necessary. If you need to show work,
please show the work just before or just after you answer the questions. Do not attach a separate
page of calculations or show all your work at the end. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in loss of points.

"(b)Explain why the conditions specified above would be more dangerous for people who are wearing
wet clothing. Assuming people in both cities are outside in wet clothing, how might your answers
to the last two parts of 7(a) change?" It should ask you to compare with part 8(a), so it should
read "(b)Explain why the conditions specified above would be more dangerous for people who are wearing
wet clothing. Assuming people in both cities are outside in wet clothing, how might your answers
to the last two parts of 8(a) change?"
We have already covered material necessary to do questions 1-2, so you may want to start with those.
