One of the dangers of tornados and hurricanes is the rapid drop in air pressure that is associated with such storms.
Assume that the air pressure inside of a sealed house is 1x10^5 Pa when a hurricane hits. The hurricane rapidly decreases
the external air pressure to 0.8x10^5 Pa. What net force (directed outwards) is exerted on a 2.0 m square window on the
house?
0.2x10^6 N
0.5x10^6 N
4x10^4 N
8x10^4 N
2x10^4 N
