A storm approaches and the air pressure outside your apartment suddenly drops to 0.960 ✕ 105Pa from 1.013 ✕ 105Pa. Before the pressure inside your apartment has had time to change, what is the magnitude of the net force exerted on a window that measures 2.0 m x 2.8 m?

2 answers

area = 2 * 2.8 = 5.6 m^2

force = area * difference in pressure

= 5.6 * (1.013 - .96) * 10^5

= .297 * 10^5 Newtons

= 2.97*10^4 Newtons

that is about the weight of a 3000 kg mass.
the window is history
Thanks so much
