70% to passApparent wind speed blowing across a MODU under tow can be measured by a(n) _______________.
A
wind vane
B
thermometer
C
anemometer
D
barometer
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) anemometer. An anemometer is the appropriate instrument to measure the apparent wind speed blowing across a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) under tow. Anemometers are specifically designed to measure wind speed, which is necessary to determine the apparent wind the MODU experiences during the towing operation. The other options are incorrect because: A) a wind vane measures wind direction, not speed; B) a thermometer measures temperature, not wind speed; and D) a barometer measures atmospheric pressure, not wind speed.
