A 2 m diameter satellite dish, with porosity of 0% is shaped as a porous parabolicdish, . It is used in Antarctica where the highest recorded wind speed is 327 km/hr.When winds higher than 100 km/hr are detected, the dish is automatically rotated toface away from the wind. It is mounted on a pole which is 1.7 m long, to the centreof pressure. (The drag force acts through the centre of pressure) Determine themaximum bending stress, during the storm, at the base of the pole due to the dragforce. The pole is solid, with a diameter of 60 mm.At -40 degrees C, the viscosity of air is 1.5E-5 N.s/m^2 and density is 1.52 kg/m^3.
