Exercise 36
The wind-chill index is modeled by the function
\[
W = 13.12 + 0.6215T - 11.37v^{0.16} + 0.3965Tv^{0.16}
\]
where \(T\) is the temperature (in °C)
and \(v\) is the wind speed (in km/h).
The wind speed is measured as 26 km/h, with a possible error of \(\pm 2\) km/h, and the temperature is
measured as \(-11^\circ\)C, with a
possible error of \(\pm 1^\circ\)C. Use
differentials to estimate the maximum error in the calculated value of
\(W\) due to the measurement errors in
\(T\) and \(v\).
