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 1930 ft2 roof at 161 mi/h. What is the magnitude of the force on the roof? (The density of air is 1.29 kg/m3)
