Q1.

Calculate the centrifugal force acting on a parcel of air of mass 10.0 kg having a radius of 200 cm moving at a velocity of 5.0 m/sec2. Centrifugal acceleration is v2 divided by r, F = m x a , where v is the wind speed and r is the radius of curvature.
 
 
Q2.
How much pressure is exerted on a tree by a wind blowing at velocity v = 90.0 m/sec? The mean density of air at sea level is 1.225 kg/m3Hint: Rate of change of momentum = Applied force; mass x velocity = Force.
