Question

The mean value of atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. Calculate the force due to the atmosphere on the panes of a window with dimensions 1.5 m x 0.8 m.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

101 kPa = 101 × 10³ Pa

P = F/A

101 × 10³ Pa = F/ (1.5 ×0.8)

F =  101 × 10³ × (1.5 ×0.8)

F =  121.2 ×10³ N

F = 121.2 kN
