Question

The force of the previous problem often causes windows to break in a hurricane. When this happens, which direction will the glass fly, into the home or out of the home?

(PREVIOUS PROBLEM:Suppose the wind speed in a hurricane is 95mph. (a) Find the difference in air pressure (Pa) outside a home and inside a home (where the wind speed is zero). The density of air is 1.29 kg/m^3. (b) If a window is 61cm wide and 108 cm high, find the net force (lb) on the window due to the pressure difference inside and outside the home.)

Explanation / Answer

Due to hurricane the pressure outside of the home is less than inside the home. So, force act from inside the home to outside the home. Therefore glass fly out of the home
