Answer:
Net outward force exerted on the window = 45.931_KN
Explanation:
In the hurricane, the pressure outside the window = 0.910_atm
Pressure inside the sealed house = 1.02_atm
Size of windows sides = 2.03_m
But pressure = force/area
Therefore, force = pressure × area
Where 1.00 atm = 1.01 × 10^5 Pa
0.910_atm = 1.01 × 10^5 Pa × 0.910 = 0.9220575_Pa
Also 1.02_atm = 1.03 × 10^5 Pa
Area of widow = 2.03^2 = 4.12_m^2
Force on the outside of the window = 0.9220575_Pa × 4.12_m^2 = 379.971_KN
Force on the inside of the window = 1.03 × 10^5 Pa × 4.12_m^2 = 425.9 KN
Net outward force exerted on the window = 425.9_KN - 379.971_KN = 45.931_KN
Net outward force exerted on the window = 45.931_KN
