A 50-storv building is being planned. It is to be 200.0 m
Chapter 9, Problem 62(choose chapter or problem)
A 50-storv building is being planned. It is to be 200.0 m high with a base 40.0m by 0 m. Its total mass will be about 1.8X107 kg. and its weight therefore about 1.8X10s N. Suppose a 200-km/h wind exerts a force of 950 N/m2 over the 0-m-wride face (Fig. 9-74). Calculate the torque about the potential pivot point, the rear edge of the building (wrhere Ft acts in Fig. 9-74). and determine whether the building will topple. Assume the total force of the wind acts at the midpoint of the building's face, and that the building is not anchored in bedrock.[Hint:FH in Fig. 9-74 represents the force that the Earth would exert on the building in the case where the building would just begin to tip.)
