Answer

$ 33.6^\circ F $; approximately equal to the temperature on the given table

Work Step by Step

Using the given formula, $ \text{Windchill}=35.74+0.6215T-35.75V^{4/25}+0.4275TV^{4/25} $, with $T=40$ and $v=10$, then \begin{align*} \text{Windchill}&= 35.74+0.6215(40)-35.75(10)^{4/25}+0.4275(40)(10)^{4/25} \\&\approx 33.6 .\end{align*} Hence, the windchill temperature is approximately $ 33.6^\circ F $. This temperature is approximately equal to the temperature on the $2$nd row, $1$st column (equal to $ 34 $) of the given table.
