Question

06 Question (1 point) The severity of a tropical storm is related to the depressed atmospheric pressure at its center. Shown below is a photogragh of Typhoom ss ta from the space shutle Discavery in August 1985, when the maximum winds of the storm were at the center than normal atmospheric pressure. In contrast,the central pressure of Hurricane Andrew was 900mbar lower when it hit south Florida with winds as high as 165 mihe about 90 mi/hr and the pressurewas 400 mbar lo than its surroundng 4th attempt

Explanation / Answer

Apply ideal gas law ratios

P1V1 = P2V2

P = 40 mBar =40*10^-3 bar = 0.039476 atm

1*40 = (0.039476) * V

V = 40/0.039476

Vfinal = 1013.27L
