Determine the magnitude of the force on the roof

Reference no: EM13539045

In a tornado or hurricane, a roof may tear away from the house because of a difference in pressure between the air inside and the air outside. Suppose that air is blowing across the top of a 1550 ft2 roof at 151 mph. What is the magnitude of the force on the roof?
