need Bar graph
Satellite feeds show that a wind has speed of 10 km/h going to the south.
It will meet Habagat (southwest monsoon) whose speed is 7.72 m/s which
is moving 30° southwest. Suppose that no other force affects these winds,
and they meet, is there a need for PAGASA to issue a public storm warning
signal (PSWS)? Yes or No? Why?
Note: Conversion of units is needed to solve the problem.
Show all necessary solutions with diagrams and label all vectors properly.
Resultant vector's magnitude and direction.
Typhoon signal number 1 has 30 to 60 km/h wind speed.
