In 1993 the radius of Hurricane Emily was about 350  km. The wind speed near the center ("eye") of the hurricane, whose radius was about 30  km, reached about 200  km / h. As air swirled in from the rim of the hurricane toward the eye, its angular momentum remained roughly constant. Estimate (a) the wind speed at the rim of the hurricane; (b) the pressure difference at the earth's surface between the eye and the rim. (Hint: See Table 12.1.) Where is the pressure greater? (c) If the kinetic energ
