A gust of wind blows parallel to a window with area 2.5m2.. Assume the pressure inside the house is at atmospheric pressure and that the gust reaches 30 m/s. Which answer most closely approximates the force on the window

Assuming that the pressure inside the house is at atmospheric pressure, the force on the window is approximately 1378 Newtons.

Given the data in the question;

  • Area of the window; [tex]A = 2.5m^2[/tex]
  • Velocity of wind; [tex]V = 30m/s[/tex]

Force on the window; [tex]F = \ ?[/tex]

Force

Force is an influence that can cause the change of motion of a particle or object. Also, force normal to the area of a surface is equal to pressure multiply by the area of that surface.

[tex]F = P * A[/tex]

Where P is pressure and A is area of the surface.

Also, we know that;

[tex]Pressure \ P = \frac{D_{air}V^2}{2}[/tex]

Where [tex]D_{air}[/tex] is density of air, approximately( [tex]1.225 kg/m^3[/tex] ) and V is velocity.

Hence

[tex]F = P * A\\\\F = \frac{D_{air}V^2}{2} * A[/tex]

We substitute our values into the equation above

[tex]F = \frac{D_{air}V^2}{2} * A\\\\F = \frac{1.225kg/m^3*(30m/s)^2}{2} * 2.5m^2\\\\F = 551.25 kg/ms^2 * 2.5m^2\\\\F = 1378.13 kgm/s^2\\\\F = 1378N[/tex]

Therefore, Assuming that the pressure inside the house is at atmospheric pressure, the force on the window is approximately 1378 Newtons.
