A wind with speed 40 m/s blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is 250 m^(2) . Assuming that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure, the force exerted by the wind on the roof and the direction of the force will be: (rho_("air")=1.2kg//m^(3))

During a heavy rain hailstones of average size 1.0 cm in diameter fall with an average speed of 20 m/s. Suppose 2000 hailstones strike every square meter of a 10mxx10m roof perpendicularly in one second and assume that the hailstones do not rebound. Calculate the average force exerted by the falling hailstones on the roof. Density of a hailstone is 900 kg/m^3
