The diameter of the eye of a stationary hurricane is 20 mi and the maximum wind speed is 100 mi/h at the eye wall with r = 10 mi. Assuming that the wind speed is constant for constant r and decreases uniformly with increasing r to 40 mi/h at r = 110 mi, determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the air at (a) r = 10 mi, (b) r = 60 mi, (c) r= 110 mi.
