Question: Suppose that a 1 6 m / s wind is blowing across the roof of your house. The density of air is 1 . 2

Suppose that a 16 m/s wind is blowing across the roof of your house. The density of air is 1.29 kg/m3.
a) Determine the reduction in pressure (below standard atmospheric pressure of stationary air) that accompanies this wind.
= Pa
b) If the area of the roof of your house is 5.1 m x 6.4 m, what is the force acting on your roof, and in which direction?
= N
Direction of the force
DownUp
c) If the maximum net force outward force your roof could withstand is 22000 N at what wind speed will your roof blow outward?
= m/s
