Anemometer use is constructed from a ping-pong ball attached to a string. When the wind blows horizontally, it presses on and moves the ball; because ping-pong balls are very lightweight, they move easily in light winds. Measuring the angle between the string-ball apparatus and the vertical gives an estimate of the wind speed. This type of anemometer is mostly used for middle-school level instruction, which most students make on their own, but a similar device was also flown on Phoenix Mars Lander. The first designs of anemometers that measure the pressure were divided into plate and tube classes. These are the
Complete measure Naïvely, we would take the "σ"-algebra on R to be "B" ⊗ "B", the smallest "σ"-algebra containing all measurable "rectangles" "A" × "A" for "A" ∈ "B". While this approach does define a measure space, it has a flaw. Since every singleton set has one-dimensional Lebesgue measure zero, for "any" subset "A" of R. However, suppose that "A" is a non-measurable subset of the real line, such as the Vitali set. Then the "λ"-measure of {0} × "A" is not defined, but and this larger set does have "λ"-measure zero. So, this "two-dimensional Lebesgue measure" as just defined is not
