Shock Wave Pressure On February 15, 2013, a 12,000,000-kg asteroid exploded in the atmosphere above Chelyabinsk. Russia, generating a shock wave with a pressure amplitude of 750 Pa. What force (in N) would this pressure difference exert on a window with dimensions of 0.86 m × 1.17 m? (The shock wave shattered many glass windows, resulting in a number of injuries.)
