The equation S(d) = 96log(d) + 72 relates the speed of the wind, S, in miles per hour near the center of a tornado to the distance that the tornado travels, d, in miles. Find the rate at which the speed of the wind is increasing when the tornado has traveled 145 miles. Round your answer to four decimal places.
