Shown below is a photogr ach of Tyghoon Odessataiken from the space shuttle Discovery in August 1985, when the maximum winds of the storm were about 90 miühe and the presure wa 40.0 mbar ower at the center than normal atmospheric pressure. In contrast, the central pressure of Hurricane Andrew was 90.0 mbar lower than itssuounding when it hit south Florida with winds as high as 165 mi/hr 5th attempt 06:14 13 OF 34 0UESTIONS COMPLETED

Explanation / Answer

Apply ideal gas law

P1V1 = P2V2

substitute known data

P1 = 1 atm = 1.01 bar

1.01*40 = (4*10^-3) * V

V = 1.01*40/(4*10^-3)

V = 10100 L
