I really need help on this question I dont have any clue where to start 

A cloud is observed to commence formation at a temperature of-61° C and continues to cool
due to emission of infrared radiation.
a) Determine the partial pressure (Pa) and density of water vapour (mg/m³) in the air before
cloud formation commenced.
b) Determine the partial pressure (Pa) and density of water vapour (mg/m³) in the cloud when the
temperature is -63° C.
c) Calculate the ice water content (mg/m³) in the cloud when the temperature is −63° C.
Use Table 1.
Table 1. Saturated water vapour pressure and density.
