Chapter 9, Problem 9.61(choose chapter or problem)
A 50-story building is being planned. It is to be 180.0 m high with a base 46.0 m by 76.0 m. Its total mass will be about and its weight therefore about Suppose a 200-km/h wind exerts a force of over the 76.0-m-wide face (Fig. 980). Calculate the torque about the potential pivot point, the rear edge of the building (where acts in Fig. 980), and determine whether the building will topple. Assume the total force of the wind acts at the midpoint of the buildings face, and that the building is not anchored in bedrock. [Hint: in Fig. 980 represents the force that the Earth would exert on the building in the case where the building would just begin to tip.]
