The Bernoulli effect can have important consequences for the design of buildings. For example, wind can blow around a skyscraper at remarkably high speed, creating low pressure. The higher atmospheric pressure in the still air inside the buildings can cause windows to pop out. As originally constructed, the John Hancock Building in Boston popped windowpanes that fell many stories to the sidewalk below. 

(a) Suppose a horizontal wind blows with a speed of outside a large pane of plate glass with dimensions . Assume the density of the air to be constant at . The air inside the building is at atmospheric pressure. What is the total force exerted by air on the windowpane?

(b) What If? If a second skyscraper is built nearby, the airspeed can be especially high where wind passes through the narrow separating between the buildings. Solve part (a) again with a wind speed of , twice as high.

       

On a vacation flight, you look out the window of a jet and wonder about the forces exerted on the windows. Suppose the air outside the window moves with a speed of approximately 170 m/s shortly after takeoff, and that the air inside the plane is at atmospheric pressure. (a) Find the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the window. (b) If the window is 25 cm by 42 cm, find the force exerted on the window by air pressure.

In a classroom demonstration, the pressure inside a soft drink can is suddenly reduced to essentially zero. Assuming the can to be a cylinder with a height of 10 cm and a diameter of 6.9 cm, find the net inward force exerted on the vertical sides of the can due to atmospheric pressure.
