The diameter of the eye of a stationary hurricane is 32 km and the maximum wind speed

Question:

The diameter of the eye of a stationary hurricane is 32 km and the maximum wind speed is 160 km/h at the eye wall, r = 16 km. Assuming that the wind speed is constant for constant r and decreases uniformly with increasing r to 64 km/h at r = 176 km, determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the air at

(a) r = 16 km,

(b) r = 96 km,

(c) r = 176km.
