Question

where ε = 0.622 (unitless) and yields w in g/kg. This reveals that w is partially dependent on atmospheric pressure, p. What does this formula suggest about the effect of pressure on the actual moisture content at higher elevations?

In the equation presented:

\[ w = \varepsilon \times \frac{e}{p} \]

- \(w\) represents a variable or a rated quantity.
- \(\varepsilon\) (epsilon) is another variable or a parameter in the equation.
- \(e\) is the numerator of the fraction.
- \(p\) is the denominator of the fraction.
- The fraction \(\frac{e}{p}\) indicates division of \(e\) by \(p\).
- The symbol \(\times\) denotes multiplication.

This equation might be used in a context such as physics, engineering, or economics where \(w\) could be a result of some combination of \(\varepsilon\) and the ratio of \(e\) to \(p\).
