A wind with a speed of \(40~\text{m/s}\) blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is \(250~\text{m}^2.\) Assuming that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure, the force exerted by the wind on the roof and the direction of the force will be:
\((\rho_{\text {air }}=1.2~\text{kg/m}^3)\) 
1. \(4 \times 10^5~\text N,\) downwards
2. \(4 \times 10^5~\text N,\) upwards
3. \(2.4 \times 10^5~\text N,\) upwards
4. \(2.4 \times 10^5~\text N,\) downwards
