CBSEENPH11018934

During storms, roofs of huts are sometimes blown up. Why?

Solution
During storms, the strong wind blowing over the roof decreases the pressure pto much lower value than the pressure inside the hut pi where there is no blow. Now, according to Bernoulli's principle, this difference of pressure exerts the net force on the roof in upward direction and hence it blows off.
