Question

Mohit decides to measure the rate which the temperature changes as the altitude increase.
What would be an appropriate unit for Mohit’s purpose ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: °F/ft (Same as °F·ft⁻¹)

EXPLANATION

Rate at which temperature changes as the altitude increases

= Change in temperature/Change in Altitude

 

To find the appropriate units for Anoop’s purpose:

Change in temperature has the same units as Temperature, F (Fahrenheit)

Change in Altitude has the same units as Altitude, ft (Feet)

 

Therefore, The appropriate unit for Change in temperature/Change in Altitude is °F/ft (Same as °F·ft⁻¹)
