Question
### Wind Chill Calculation

The following formula is used to calculate the wind chill factor \( W \) in degrees Celsius:

\[ W = 33 - \frac{(10.45 + 10\sqrt{V} - V)(33 - T)}{22.04} \]

- \( T \) is the air temperature in degrees Celsius.
- \( V \) is the wind speed in meters per second.

Use the formulas to the right as needed:

\[
^\circ C = \frac{5(^\circ F - 32)}{9} \\
^\circ F = \frac{9^\circ C}{5} + 32
\]

Conversion factors:
- 1 mile = 1609.344 meters
- 1 hour = 3600 seconds

### Tasks

(a) **Determine the wind chill for an air temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 24 meters per second.**  
\[ \text{The wind chill is } \_\_\_ ^\circ C. \]  
*(Round the final answer to the nearest tenth as needed. Round all intermediate values to the nearest tenth as needed.)*

(b) **Determine the wind chill for an air temperature of 27°F and a wind speed of 26 mph. Convert your final answer to degrees Fahrenheit.**  
\[ \text{The wind chill is } \_\_\_ ^\circ F. \]  
*(Round the final answer to the nearest tenth as needed. Round all intermediate values to the nearest tenth as needed.)*
