Concept explainers
To calculate: The air pressure at the center of a hurricane when the mean sustained wind velocity is 48.3 meters per second. The function used in example 2 is
The air pressure at the center of a hurricane is 954.17 millibars.
Given information:
The given function is
Mean sustained wind velocity is
Formula used: Raise each side of the equation to the same power to eliminate the radical.
Calculation:
Write the original function:
Substitute the value of
Divide both sides by 6.3 to isolate the radical on one side of the equation,
Square each side to eliminate the radical and simplify,
Subtract 1013 from both sides,
Therefore, the pressure at the center of the hurricane is
