Document Summary

= 2t1 1. 4 s (1) (2: an aircraft door closes by pushing it inside the airplane rst. We will assume p = 0 outside the aircraft, and p = 0. 9 atm inside during ight. Solution: the force will be the surface area of the door exposed to the outside pressure times the pressure di erence. That means the area of the door minus the area of the seal. The force to overcome is due to the pressure di erence between inside and out, and that pressure di erence only exists over the part of the door that isn"t in contact with the seal. If you imagined the door as a rubber sheet, think about where it would bulge out - only where there isn"t a seal, because that"s the only place the door feels" the pressure di erence. The area of the door minus the sealing surface is 1. 9 by 0. 6 m, or a = 1. 14 m2.
