The velocity of wind is measured by

  1. ABarometer
  2. BAnemometer
  3. CHydrometer
  4. DWind Vane

UPPSC 2016

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) Anemometer

Explanation

An anemometer measures the velocity (speed) of wind, typically using revolving cups that drive a generator.

Barometer measures atmospheric pressure, hydrometer measures specific gravity, and wind vane shows wind direction.
