Question

Wind blows at the speed of 30m/s across a 175m^2 flat roof if a house.

Answer 1

Answer:

the net force is 101587.5 N

Explanation:

The speed of wind

v = 30 m/s

The area of roof,

A = 175 m 2

The expression for the Bernoulli's theorem.

P = 12 ρv 2 ...... (1)

Here,

P is the pressure difference,

ρ is the density of air and

v is the speed of wind.

The expression for the pressure.

P = F A ..... (2)

Here,

F is the force and

A is the area of roof.

Part (a)

Substitute the values for the pressure difference in equation (1)

P = 12 × 1.29 × (30) 2 P = 580.5 Pa

Thus, the pressure difference at the roof between the inside and outside air is

580.5 Pa

Part (b)

Substitute the values for the net force in equation (2)

580.5 = F 175 F = 101587.5 N

Thus, the net force is 101587.5 N.
