A highway sign is being designed to withstand winds of 125 km/h. Calculate the total force on a sign 4 m by 3 m if the wind is flowing perpendicular to the face of the sign. The air is at −10°C. Compare the force calculated for this problem with that for Problem 16.4. Discuss the reasons for the differences.

Problem 16.4

Calculate the moment at the base of a flagpole caused by a wind of 150 km/h. The pole is made of three sections, each 3 m long, of different-size Schedule 80 steel pipe. The bottom section is DN 150, the middle is DN 125, and the top is DN 100. The air is at 0°C and standard atmospheric pressure.
