Gce Model Questions Vol1 2024 Geography Question 4
Practice objective / multiple choice question 4 from the 2024 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
Station X records a sea‑level pressure of \(1012\) hPa, while station Y, located \(200\) km to the north, records \(1004\) hPa. Assuming the pressure gradient is linear and the air density is \(1.2\) kg m\(^{-3}\), estimate the geostrophic wind speed at latitude \(45^{\circ}\) using the formula \(V = \frac{1}{\rho f}\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta n}\), where \(f = 2\Omega\sin\phi\) and \(\Omega = 7.292\times10^{-5}\) s\(^{-1}\). Give your answer in metres per second (m s\(^{-1}\)), rounded to the nearest whole number.
