The diameter of the eye of a stationary hurricane is 20 mi and the maximum wind speed is 100 mi/h at the eye wall, r= 10 mi. Assuming that the wind speed is constant for constant r and decreases uniformly with increasing r to 40 mi/h at r 110 mi, determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the air at r 85 mi. (Round the final answer to five decimal places.) 20 mi 220 mi The magnitude of the acceleration of the air is ft/s²

Question
Kindly add the diagram and provide clear explanation regarding radial acceleration and interpolation. This is little confusing
The diameter of the eye of a stationary hurricane is 20 mi and the maximum wind speed is 100 mi/h at the eye wall, r = 10 mi. Assuming
that the wind speed is constant for constant r and decreases uniformly with increasing r to 40 mi/h at r= 110 mi, determine the magnitude
of the acceleration of the air at r = 85 mi. (Round the final answer to five decimal places.)
20 mi
-220 mi-
The magnitude of the acceleration of the air is
