Answer:
There is a large difference in pressure between the point of the wall and the eye of the hurricane, possibly it is outside the measuring range of the anemometer, creating the fracture that breaks it
Explanation:
Let's use Bernoulli's equation to describe the passage of the hurricane, write in two points the eye of the hurricane and the point the wall (periphery) of the hurricane
P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂
Where P₁ = 919.6 mb is the eye pressure of the hurricane, at this point the speed is very small, we can assume that it is zero, the height of the anemometer is constant; on the wall the pressure is P₂ and wind speed is v₂ = 155 mph, with this the equation is reduced to
P₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂²
We must reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
P₁ = 919.6 mb (100 Pa / mb) = 9,196 104 Pa
v₂ = 155 mph (1609 m / 1 mile) (1h / 3600s) = 62,276 m / s
The approximate density of air with water in a storm is close to the density of water 1000 kg / m³
With these values we can find the approximate pressure in the eye of the hurricane
P₂ = 9,196 104 - ½ 1000 62,276 2
P₂ = 9.196 104 - 193.9 104
P₂ = 184.7 104 Pa
There is a large difference in pressure between the point of the wall and the eye of the hurricane, possibly it is outside the measuring range of the anemometer, creating the fracture that breaks it
