BELOW IS THE DISCUSSION SHE RESPONDED TO
The force of wind blowing on a window positioned at a right angle to the direction of the wind varies jointly as the area of the window and the square of the wind's speed. It is known that a wind of 30 mph blowing on a window measuring 4 ft. by 5 ft. exerts a force of 150 pounds. During a storm with winds of 60 mph, should hurricane shutters be placed on a window that measures 3 ft. by 4 ft. and is it capable of withstanding a 300 pound force?
