Gce Model Questions Vol1 2022 Geography Question 45
Practice objective / multiple choice question 45 from the 2022 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
At latitude \(30^{\circ}\) N the sea‑level pressure falls from \(1020\) hPa at point A to \(1000\) hPa at point B, which lies \(300\) km directly east of A. Assuming geostrophic balance and neglecting friction, calculate the approximate geostrophic wind speed (in m s\(^{-1}\)) at point B. Use the Coriolis parameter \(f = 2\Omega\sin\phi\) with \(\Omega = 7.292\times10^{-5}\) s\(^{-1}\) and take air density \(\rho = 1.225\) kg m\(^{-3}\).
