Question

A cloud directly above you is about 10° across. From the weather report, you know that the cloud is at an altitude of 2200 m. How wide is the cloud?

Answer 1

The width of the cloud is : 384 m

Given data :

Cloud altitude = 2200 m

Temperature = 10°

Determine how wide the cloud is

applying the equation below

I = d$(\frac{\alpha }{57.3})$

where : I = linear size , d = 2200 m ,  $\alpha = 10^{o}$

therefore :

I = 2200 ( 10 / 57.3 )

 = 383.94 m

 ≈ 384 m

Hence we can conclude that the width of the cloud is : 384 m
