Pressure: One of the dangers of tornados and hurricanes is the rapid drop in air pressure that is associated with such storms. Assume that the air pressure inside of a sealed house is 1.02 atm when a hurricane hits. The hurricane rapidly decreases the external air pressure to 0.910 atm. What net outward force is exerted on a square window of the house that is 2.03 m on each side? (1.00 atm = 1.01 × 105 Pa)

A. 4.59 × 104 N B. 5.19 × 104 N C. 4.82 × 105 N D. 5.42 × 105 N
