Tall buildings are designed to sway in the wind. In a 100km/h wind, suppose the top of a 110-story building oscillates horizontally with an amplitude of 17 cm at its natural frequency, which corresponds to a period of 6.1 s .
Assuming SHM, find the maximum horizontal velocity experienced by an employee as she sits working at her desk located on the top floor.
Find the maximum acceleration experienced by an employee as she sits working at her desk located on the top floor.
Compare the maximum acceleration (as a percentage) with the acceleration due to gravity.

Tall buildings are designed to sway in the wind. In a 100 km/h wind, for example, the top of the 110-story Sears Tower oscillates horizontally with an amplitude of 15cm . The building oscillates at its natural frequency, which has a period of 7.0 s.Assuming SHM, find the maximum horizontal velocity experienced by a Sears employee as she sits working at her desk located on the top floor.Find the maximum acceleration experienced by a Sears employee as she sits working...
