Billboards are large outdoor hoardings that
are used by advertisers. However, their
large surfaces at heights off the ground
means they have to withstand strong winds
during their useful life span. There is a need
to model and analyze a billboard stand that
must be capable of supporting a 5- meter x
2-meter billboard at a height of 4 meters
above the ground. The billboard will have
to withstand crosswinds with speeds up to
10 m/s.

Wind tunnels are used to measure the aerodynamic properties of prototype models. (a) if a fan
generates a wind speed of 25.0 mi/h inside an 8.75-ft2 section of a wind tunnel, what is the wind
speed as the air enters the narrower, 4.35-ft² section of the wind tunnel? (b) Explain why it is
often windier on city streets surrounded by tall buildings than in more open area

QUESTION # 4 (CLO 2)
(a) A house is to be designed to withstand hurricane-force winds. The maximum
wind velocity is v=(any value greater than 10 and less than 100 in m/s). The

- The Bernoulli effect can have important consequences for the design of buildings. For example, wind can blow around a skyscraper at remarkably high speed, creating low pressure. The higher atmospheric pressure in the still air inside the buildings can cause windows to pop out. As originally constructed, the John Hancock Building in Boston popped windowpanes that fell many stories to the sidewalk below. (a) Suppose a horizontal wind blows with a speed of 11.2 m/s outside a large pane of plate glass with dimensions 4.00 m 1.50 m. Assume the density of the air to be constant at 1.20 kg/m3. The air inside the building is at atmospheric pressure. What is the total force exerted by air on the windowpane? (b) What If? If a second skyscraper is built nearby, the airspeed can be especially high where wind passes through the narrow separation between the buildings. Solve part (a) again with a wind speed of 22.4 m/s, twice as high.arrow_forwardThe basic barometer can be used as an altitudemeasuring device in airplanes.

From your knowledge of air pressure at ground level, estimate the height of the atmosphere. As a simplifying assumption, take the atmosphere to be of uniform density up to some height, after which the density rapidly falls to zero. (In reality, the density of the atmosphere decreases as we go up.) t O 1 km O 10 km O 100 km O 1000 km Need Help? Read Itarrow_forward

- b)As the air sinks down, it is channeled through narrow valleys and so speeds up. In the desert the wind blows at about 5 miles per hour across an area of 100 square miles (width x height in the atmosphere). It is then squeezed into an area of just 20 square miles as it blows through narrow valleys in the mountains around Los Angeles. Assume that airflow must stay constant, what would the velocity of the air be? (2) Airflow = area * velocity c) Vegetation has to be heated up to 330 oC in order to ignite.
