Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.15P
Hurricane Sandy, which hit the New Jersey coast on Oct. 29, 2012, was extremely broad, with wind velocities of 40 mi/h at 400 miles from its center. Its maximum velocity was 90 mi/h. Using the model of Fig. P8.14, at 20°C with a pressure of 100 kPa far from the center, estimate (a) the radius R of maximum velocity, in mi; and (b) the pressure at r = R.
