To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the outlined approach in the video transcript: ### Step 1: Gather Given Data - Outside temperature, \( T_1 = 0^\circ C \) - Relative humidity outside, \( RH_1 = 40\% \) - Saturated vapor pressure at \( 0^\circ C \), \( P_{sat, 0} = 4.6 \, \text{mm Hg} \) - Room temperature, \( T_2 = 20^\circ C \) - Saturated vapor pressure at \( 20^\circ C \), \( P_{sat, 20} = 18 \, \text{mm Hg} \) ...
