On an episode of a popular TV series, the hosts attempted to determine whether this is possible. According to the hosts' experiment, such an event cannot happen. Did they need to perform the experiment? As a science adviser to the show, the hosts ask you to perform a crude calculation to test the myth. A typical jet plane travels at 508 mph at a cruising altitude of 25500 ft. The windows on a jet plane measure 14.0 in x 14.0 in. Assume the density and pressure of air at 25500 ft are 0.562 kg/m³ and 382 mbar, respectively, but that the interior of the plane remains pressurized to atmospheric pressure, 1 atm. Calculate the force F exerted on such a window as the plane flies at 25500 ft above the sea level.
