Q1
When flying, the pressure inside the cabin of an aircraft is kept at 70 kPa.
The aircraft window has an area of 810 cm2 .
Use data from Figure 1 to calculate the resultant force acting on an aircraft window when the aircraft is flying at an altitude of 12 km.
Give your answer to two significant figures
___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________
Resultant force = ___________________ N (5)
-
Pressure = 20 kPa = 5×104 Pa
Area = 810 cm² = 0.081 m²
Pressure=F/A⇒5×104=F/0.081
F=5×104×0.081
4050
4100(N)
