Answer:
362.6 N
Explanation:
Therefore, the force that the glass hits the floor with is 362.6 N
Another way to test your question is to build your own miniature buildings. Depending on how in-depth you go, building could get a little pricey, but if you keep it basic there shouldn't be a problem. Decide on a certain number of foundations to test [maybe 3 or so] and try simulating an earthquake.

We shall convert all of the densities to lbs/gal, so the product of
BTU/lbs and lbs/gal gives us the basis of comparison, which was "ratio of energy to volume".
grams / ml x 1 lbs/454 grams → 1 lbs/ 454 ml
1 lbs/454 ml x 3785.41 ml/gal → 3785.41 lbs/454gal
Conversion of g/ml = 8.34 lbs/gal
Looking at each fuel:
Kerosene:
18,500 x (8.34 x 0.82) = 126,517 BTU/gal
Gasoline:
20,900 x (8.34 x 0.737) = 128,463 BTU/gal
Ethanol:
11,500 x (8.34 x 0.789) = 75,673 BTU/gal
Hydrogen:
61,000 x (8.34 x 0.071) = 36,120 BTU/gal
The best fuel in terms of energy to volume ratio is Gasoline.
Gallons required:
BTU needed / BTU per gallon
= 85.2 x 10⁹ / 128,463
= 6.6 x 10⁵ gallons
