Outside a house 1 km from ground 0 of a 100 kiloton nuclear bomb explosion, the pressure will rapidly rise to as high as 2.8 atm while the pressure inside the house is 1 atm. If the area outside the house is 50 m2. The resulting net force exerted by the air in front of the house is.
A
9.1 × 106 N
B
2.1 × 107 N
C
1.41 × 107 N
D
1.63 × 107 N
Answer
9.1 × 106 N
Explanation
Solution
F = ∆P A = 1.8 × 1.01 × 105 × 50 = 9.1 × 106 N
