Given a mean horizontal ageostrophic wind speed within an atmospheric column from 366 hPa to 254 hPa. Ageostrophic wind speed increases from 2.1 knots to 3.8 knots over 55 km to the east. Please find the estimated vertical velocity at 366 hPa. ASSUME that the Ageostrophic wind speed is zero at all other levels; equivalent barotropic environment at all levels with no thermodynamic forcing.

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 481 km/h. If its wings are tilted at angle θ = 45.0° to the horizontal, what is the radius of the circle in which the plane is flying? Assume that the required force is provided entirely by an "aerodynamic lift" that is perpendicular to the wing surface.

On an afternoon with moderate incoming solar radiation and an average wind speed of 2.5 m/s at a height of 10 m above the ground surface, a power plant emits sulfur dioxide at a rate of 1 kg/s. The effective height of stack is 130 m. The wind speed at the effective stack height is 2.8 m/s. Calculate the concentration (in μg/m3) of sulfur dioxide at ground elevation, directly 3 km downwind from the stack (show hand calculation for this...

You have made measurements at the surface (10 m above the ground) and at 1 km. Surface wind speed was measured as 2 m/s and the wind speed at 1000 m was measured at 9 m/s. Virtual temperature was 303 K at the surface and 292 K at 1000m. The virtual potential temperature at 1000m was 297 K. Calculate the Richardson number for the layer between the serface and 1000m. What does the Richardson number say about stability. Is it...

A 1 kg mass is on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 144 N/m. The spring's unstretched length is 20 cm. You pull on the mass and stretch the spring 5 cm and release it. What is the position of the mass at 15 seconds? What is the magnitude of its velocity at that instant? The mass spring system is now flipped vertically such that gravity must be included in...
