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

    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
