3. In a thunderstorm, the wind velocity in meters per second can be described by the function

v(p)=5.7998−p‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√,

where

p

is the air pressure in millibars. What is the air pressure of a thunderstorm in which the wind velocity is 49.3 meters per second? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a millibar.

Respuesta :

Answer:

p = 923.2 millibar

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The wind velocity can be described by the function as follows :

[tex]v(p)=5.7\sqrt{998-p}[/tex]

Where

p is the air pressure in millibar

Put v = 49.3 m/s in the above function.

[tex]49.3=5.7\sqrt{998-p}[/tex]

Squaring both sides,

[tex]49.3^2=(5.7\sqrt{998-p})^2\\\\2430.49=32.49(998-p)\\\\\dfrac{2430.49}{32.49}=(998-p)\\\\74.80=(998-p)\\\\p=998-74.80\\\\p=923.2\ mbar[/tex]

So, the required pressure is equal to 923.2 millibar.
