A quonset hut is a lightweight, metal building with a semicircular cross section. Consider a quonset hut that has a radius of 2 m and is 10 m long. In a hurricane when the atmospheric pressure is 90 kPa and the temperature is 30°C, the wind is blowing with a speed of 60 m/s directly crosswise to the quonset hut. Assume that conditions are the same for every cross section of the hut – that is, the flow is two-dimensional everywhere along the length of the hut. (a) Consider the case of the hut sitting directly on the ground. If there is a small hole in the hut, the pressure everywhere inside the hut will be equal to the pressure outside the hut at the point of the hole.
