Multiple Choice

One of the dangers of tornados and hurricanes is the rapid drop in air pressure that is associated with such storms. Assume that the air pressure inside of a sealed house is 1.02 atm when a hurricane hits. The hurricane rapidly decreases the external air pressure to 0.910 atm. What net outward force is exerted on a square window of the house that is 2.03 m on each side? (1.00 atm= 1.01×105 Pa) \left. 1.01 \times 10 ^ { 5 } \mathrm {~Pa} \right)


A) 5.19×104 N5.19 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~N}
B) 5.42×105 N5.42 \times 10 ^ { 5 } \mathrm {~N}
C) 4.82×105 N4.82 \times 10 ^ { 5 } \mathrm {~N}
D) 4.59×104 N4.59 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~N}
