Question

An air parcel with mass = 150 kg is traveling at 15 meters per second due east at 38 degrees North at an altitude of 5500 meters. The parcel also has a downward velocity of 2 meters per second. Assume that the parcel is at the 500 mb level within a horizontal pressure field that increases toward the northeast at a rate of 4 Pascals per kilometer.(a) What are all of the orthogonal forces on the air parcels (with values)? (b) What is the total force exerted on the air parcel?

Just give me a point to get started from I don't know if the orthogonal forces are u,v,w or he's looking for something else and total force

Explanation / Answer

since,

f=ma = mg= 1500 N approx.

now pressure gradient of force= 500 /1500 =0.33 ans.
