Question: Calculate the approximate force on a square meter ( 1 . 0 0 m 3 ) of sail, given the horizontal velocity of the wind

Calculate the approximate force on a square meter (1.00 m3) of sail, given the horizontal velocity of the wind is 6.00 m/s parallel to its front surface and 3.50 m/s along its back surface. Take the density of air to be 1.29 kg/m3.(The calculation, based on Bernoullis principle, is only approximate due to the effects of turbulence.) Remember, F =(P2 P1)A
