Prairie dogs are burrowing rodents. They do not suffocate in their burrows, because the effect of air speed on pressure creates sufficient air circulation. The animals maintain a difference in the shapes of two entrances to the burrow, and because of this difference, the air (ρ = 1.29 kg/m3) blows past the openings at different speeds, as the drawing indicates. Assuming that the openings are at the same vertical level, find the difference in air pressure between the openings.

Idk the velocities for you but here:

P=pressure
p=density

P=p*((v1^2/2) - (v2^2/2))
