Question

secure OHW 11/30/17 ns4u@mtma pical storm is related to the depressed atmospheric pressure at its center. Shown below is a photograph of Typhoon Odessa taken le Discovery in August 1985, when the maximum winds of the storm were about 90 mi/hr and the pressure was 40.0 mbar lower at the center than normal atmospheric pressure.In contrast, the central pressure of Hurricane Andrew was 90.0 mbar lower than its surroundings when it hit south Florida with winds as high as 165 mi/hr 6th attempt Jld See Periodic Table See Hint If a small weather balloon with a volume of 44.0 L at a pressure of 1.00 atmosphere was deployed at the edge of Typhoon Odessa (in picture), what was the volume of the balloon when it reached the center?

Explanation / Answer

Apply

P1 = 1 atm = 1.01325 bar, V = 44 L

P2 = 90 mbar = 90*10^-3 V ?

apply

P1V1 = P2V2

substitute

1.01325 *44 = ( 90*10^-3 ) * V

V = 1.01325 *44 /(90*10^-3 )

V = 495.3 L
