Question: Every few years, when the jet stream descends during early spring in Boulder, Colorado, the winds there reach sustained speeds of 4 3 . 0

Every few years, when the jet stream descends during early spring in Boulder, Colorado, the winds there reach sustained speeds of 43.0 m/s. Approximate the force (as calculated using the Bernoulli equation) on a roof having an area of 247 m2?
Note that the typical air density in Boulder is 1.14 kg/m3, and the corresponding atmospheric pressure is 8.89104 N/m2.
(Bernoullis principle as stated in the text assumes laminar flow. Using the principle with this assumption here produces an approximate result)
