Consider a closed shower cubical, square in plan view, which is closed by drawing a curtain across the open side. When taking a hot shower with the curtain closed the curtain tends to blow inwards. Explain why this is so and state the fundamental fluid mechanics principles that create this phenomenon. Hence suggest how one could calculate the angle of the curtain & clarifying what basic parameters would be required.
