Answer

Net Force on window $=2.9\times10^{4}$ $N$

Work Step by Step

The pressure difference is equal to the net pressure in the window. So, Net pressure on window $=1.0$ $atm$ $-0.96$ $atm$ $=0.04$ $atm$ Or, Net pressure on window $=0.04\times10^{5}=4\times10^{3}$ $Pa$ [as $1$ $atm\approx 10^{5}Pa$] Area of the window $=2.1m\times3.4m=7.14$ $m^{2}$ We know that: $Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$ Or, $Force=Pressure \times Area $ Substituting the known values and solving the equation gives: $Force =(4\times10^{3})\times7.14 =2.8560\times10^{4}$ $N$ $Force\approx2.9\times10^{4}$ $N$
