Q.

Instrument used to measure the force and velocity of the wind is –

A. Ammeter
B. Anemometer
C. Altimeter
D. Audiometer
Answer» B. Anemometer
Explanation: An anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed, and is a common weather station instrument. The term is derived from the Greek word anemos, meaning wind, and is used to describe any airspeed measurement instrument used in meteorology or aerodynamics. Anemometers can be divided into two classes: those that measure the wind's speed, and those that measure the wind's pressure; but as there is a close connection between the pressure and the speed, an anemometer designed for one will give information about both.
