Question:

Consider a tornado as air moving in a circular pattern in the horizontal plane. If the wind speed is \(200 \mathrm{mph}\) and the diameter of the tornado is \(200 \mathrm{ft}\), determine the radial pressure gradient. If it is desired to model the tornado using water in a 6 in. diameter tube, what speed is needed to give the same radial pressure gradient?
