Prairie dogs are burrowing rodents. They do not suffocate in theirburrows, because the effect of air speed on pressure createssufficient air circulation. The animals maintain a difference inthe shapes of two entrances to the burrow, and because of thisdifference, the air (ρ = 1.29 kg/m3) blowspast the openings at different speeds, as the drawing indicates.(vA = 8.7 m/s, andvB = 1.4 m/s.)

Assuming that the openings are at the same vertical level, find thedifference in air pressure between the openings.
