The door and the seals on an aircraft are subject to a tremendous amount of force during flight. At an altitude of $10000 \mathrm{~m}$ (about $33000 \mathrm{ft}$ ), the air pressure outside the airplane is only $2.7 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ while the inside is still at normal atmospheric pressure, due to pressurization of the cabin. Calculate the force due to the air pressure on a door of area $3.0 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$.
A large exhaust fan in a laboratory room keeps the pressure inside at $10 \mathrm{cm}$ of water relative vacuum to the hallway. What is the net force on the door measuring $1.9 \mathrm{m}$ by $1.1 \mathrm{m} ?$
