A wind with speed \(50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is \(300 \mathrm{~m}^2\). Assume that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure. Density of air is \(1.2 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3\). The magnitude of the force exerted by the wind on the roof will be

  1. A \(1.5 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(3.0 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(4.5 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(9.0 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4.5 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F = \frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 A\) \(F = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \mathrm{~kg/m}^3 \times (50 \mathrm{~m/s})^2 \times 300 \mathrm{~m}^2\)
