Comfort airlines has cabin windows that are square 20 cm on

Comfort airlines has cabin windows that are square, 20 cm on a side. When flying at an altitude of 10 kilometers, the outside air pressure is 30,000 Pa. What is the total force that must be supplied by the window mountings to keep the window from blowing out?

Solution

Pressure = force / area

force = pressure x area

area = 0.2m x 0.2m = 0.04m²

Force = 30,000 x 0.04 = 1200N

total force that must be supplied by the window mountings to keep the window from blowing out = 1200N.
