The diagram shows two weather stations, A (west) and B (east). Isobars indicate a pressure of 1010 hPa passing through station A and 1000 hPa passing through station B, the stations being 200 km apart. Using the geostrophic wind approximation V = (1/ρf)·(ΔP/Δd), where air density ρ = 1.2 kg m⁻³ and the Coriolis parameter f = 1×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹, estimate the wind speed at station B. Give your answer in metres per second, rounded to one decimal place.
