Consider the two parallel isobars separated by a spacing of $250 \mathrm{~km}$ at $30^{\circ} \mathrm{N}$ \\
(air density $=0.70 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}, 2 \Omega=14.6 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ ) with a pressure gradient of 5 \\
$\mathrm{hPa}$. Calculate the geostrophic velocity in $\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ (rounded off to two decimal \\
places).
