Q. How do we measure the speed of the wind?

Answer: The speed of that wind can be measured using a tool called an anemometer. An anemometer looks like a weather vane, but instead of measuring which direction the wind is blowing with pointers, it has four cups so that it can more accurately measure wind speed.

A. Speedometer
B. Tachometer
C. Anemometer
D. Audiometer

Q. What is the unit of measurement for an anemometer?
Answer: Vane anemometers are the best choice for measuring wind speed. Many have user selectable units of measure: ft/min, m/s, MPH, km/h and knots to accommodate a wide variety of applications. A thermo-anemometer is any hot wire or vane anemometer having the added feature of air temperature measurement.
