A force of 5.3 N is needed to hold on to an umbrella in a strong wind. If the air molecules each have a mass of 4.7 10-26 kg,
 
  and each one strikes the umbrella (without rebounding) with a speed of 2.0 m/s in the same direction, how many molecules strike the umbrella each second? Assume that the wind blows horizontally so that the gravitational force exerted on the air molecules can be neglected.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
