A solution of a strong alkaline, such as sodium hydroxide, at concentration 1 mol dm â3, has a pH of 14. Thus, measured pH values will lie mostly in the range 0 to 14, though negative pH values and values above 14 are entirely possible.
The Saffir-Simpson scale measures the intensity of a hurricane. Wind speed is measured on a scale of 1-5 to give an estimate of potential property damage and flooding along the coast. The Categories are as follows:Category One Hurricane: Winds 74-95 mph.Category Two Hurricane: Winds 96-110 mph.ind speed is measured on a scale of 1-5 to give an estimate of potential property damage and flooding along the coast. The Categories are as follows: Category One Hurricane: Winds 74-95 mph.
Wind has both speed and direction. Anemometers measure wind speed and wind vanes measure wind direction. A typical wind vane has a pointer in front and fins in back. When the wind is blowing, the wind vane points into the wind. For example, in a north wind, the wind vane points northward. A cup anemometer is a common tool to measure wind speed. The cups catch the wind and produce pressure difference inside and outside the cup. The pressure difference, along with the force of the wind, causes the cups to rotate.
