Question

At one point, Hurricane Katrina had maximum sustained winds of 175 mi/h (240 km/h) and a low pressure in the eye of 666.52 mmHg (0.877 atm). Using the given air speed, and assuming the density of air is 1.225 kg/m³, calculate the atmospheric pressure that would be predicted by Bernoulli's equation. (Assume the pressure of the air is normally 1 atm.)

Step 1

1 mph = 0.44704 m/s So, 175 mph = 175 * 0.44704 = 78.23 m/s Show more…
