Homework Statement


Estimate the air pressure inside a category 5 hurricane, where the wind speed is 300 km/hr.


Homework Equations


P=F/A


The Attempt at a Solution


I converted km/hr to m/s.
V=83.33m/s.
That's all I can get. I don't know the area of a category 5 hurricane or the force of one.
Is there any other equation I can use?
