Chapter 8, Problem 20E

On the Figure 8-15, draw arrows showing the pressure gradient and Coriolis force acting on each box. Since the pressure gradient is the same in both drawings, you should make the pressure gradient force vector the same for all six boxes. However, you should vary the size of the Coriolis vector in a way that would maintain the wind in the curved path shown.
