Homework Statement


Calculate pressure outside the box- ATM pressure is 101325 Pa, air moving outside the box is 45 m/s, air density is 1.3 kg/m^3

Homework Equations


P + 1/2(roe)(v)^2 = Patm

The Attempt at a Solution


P + 1/2 (1.3kg/m^3)(45m/s)^2 = 101325 Pa
P + 1316.25 Pa = 101325 Pa
P= 100008.75 Pa

I guess the problem is an open box with static air inside and air blowing over the open end, in which case your computation is right.
But you need to define problems more fully.
 
Bernoulli's equation is an express of energy conservation. All terms have energy density dimensions and your calculation is correct.
