Question

When the temperature of the air is 30°C, its vapour-holding capacity is 30.37gms/ cu.m. If absolute humidity is 18gms / cu.m. then what would be the relative humidity?

Answer 1

Given:

Temperature − 30°C

Vapour holding capacity − 30.37 gms/cu.m.

Absolute Humidity − 18 gms/cu.m.

Relative humidity (%) `= (("Absolute Humidity")/("Vapour Holding Capacity"))xx100`

Relative humidity `=((18)/(30.37)) xx 100`

= `(18)/(30.37) xx 100`

= 0.592584357 × 100

= 59.2584357

= 59.26%
