We want to know how large the pressure difference is over the respective<br />
openings, ΔP u andΔP n.<br />
We simplify the problem by only studying the points 1, 2 and 3 in the upper<br />
part of the building. The hydrostatic pressure difference between point 1 and<br />
point 2 is:<br />
v 1 = v 2 = 0<br />
P 1–P 2 = ρ 2gh 2–ρ 1gh 1<br />
