To understand why window panes break and curtains move outward when strong winds blow along the sides of a building, we can analyze the situation using the principles of pressure and airflow. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Air Pressure**: - When the wind blows strongly along the sides of a building, it creates a difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the building. - According to Bernoulli's principle, as the speed of the air increases, the pressure decreases. Therefore, the faster-moving air outside the building results in lower pressure (P2) compared to the pressure inside the building (P1). ...

Sudha finds out that the sharp image of the window pane of her science laboratory is formed at a distance of 15 cm from the lens. She now tries to focus the building visible to her outside the window instead of the window pane without disturbing the lens. In which direction will she move the screen to obtain a sharp image of the building ? What is the approximate focal length of this lens ?

Arrange the following steps in a sequential order to explain the formation of conventional currents through ventilation. (a) the cold air enters into the room through windows from high pressure to low pressure region (b) hot air in the room is less denser and it raises up (c ) the rooms are provided with ventilators at the top (d) hot air passes out through the ventilators it creates low pressure region in the room

Walls (excluding roofs and floors) of 5 identical rooms having length, breadth and height 6 m, 4 m and 2.5 m respectively are to be painted. Out of five rooms, two rooms have one square window each having a side of 2.5 m. Paints are available only in cans of 1 litre, and 1 litre of paint can be used for painting 20 square meters. The number of cans required for painting is
