determine whether this is possible. According to the hosts' experiment, such an event cannot happen.
Did they need to perform the experiment? As a science adviser to the show, the hosts ask you to perform a crude calculation to test the myth. A typical jet plane travels at 542 mph at a cruising altitude of 28500 ft. The windows on a jet plane measure 14.0 in X 14.0 in.
Assume the density and pressure of air at 28500 ft are 0.492 kg/m' and 324 mbar, respectively, but that the interior of the plane remains pressurized to atmospheric pressure, 1 atm.
Calculate the force F exerted on such a window as the plane flies at 28500 ft above the sea level.
Calculate the fractional difference between this force and the weight wman of a typical adult male (185 lb).
