Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The wind will exert a force on a body no matter the size of the object

The force on an object due to wind is given by


F=(1)/(2)\rho Av^2

The unit is Newton

Where,


\rho = Density of air

A = Surface area of object

v = Velocity of air

Hence, it is true that the force of the wind over an area increases as the square of the wind velocity.
