Question

3. The “feathers” that stick out from the tail indicate the wind speed in knots. (1 knot = 1.151 miles per hour.) A short feather represents 5 knots (5.75 mph), a long feather represents 10 knots (11.51 mph), and a triangular feather stands for 50 knots (57.54 mph). Add the feathers to find the wind speed.

What is the wind speed shown on the symbol above?

Answer 1

To determine the wind speed based on the “feathers” you mentioned, we need to identify how many of each feather type is present.

- A short feather represents 5 knots.
- A long feather represents 10 knots.
- A triangular feather represents 50 knots.

Please provide the number of each type of feather that is shown so we can calculate the total wind speed.
