Homework Answers
Answer: (b) west
The geostrophic wind blows parallel to the isobars because the coriolis force and the pressure gradient force are in balance. Thus, the direction will be same, I.e. from the west.

Suppose the hurricane in Figure 2 has stalled off the southeast
coast of the United States. Further suppose that the peak winds
around the storm are 115 mi/hr and that its central pressure is 934
millibars (27.58 inches). If the hurricane begins to move due west
at 10 mi/hr, answer the following questions assuming that the
hurricane experiences no change in its intensity.
a. On which side of the hurricane (north, south, east or west)
would you expect the winds...

The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 54-km/h wind blowing toward the south. If the speed of the aircraft relative to the air is 177 km/h, (a) in what direction (degrees north of west) should the aircraft head, and (b) what will be its speed (km/h) relative to the ground? Caution: The speed relative to the air is not the same as the speed relative to the ground. The pilot wishes to fly due west...

Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed
of 50 km/h. (This means that the direction from which the wind
blows is 45° west of the northerly direction.) A pilot is steering
a plane in the direction N60°E at an airspeed (speed in still air)
of 100 km/h. The true course, or track, of the
plane is the direction of the resultant of the velocity vectors...
