Question

A 50-story building is being planned. It is to be 190.0m high with a base 46.0m by 66.0m . Its total mass will be about 2.2x10 7kg , and its weight therefore about 2.2*10 8N . Suppose a 200km/h wind exerts a force of 880N/m 2 over the 66.0m wide face(Fiaure 1). Part A Calculate the magnitude of the torque about the potential pivot point, the rear edge of the building (where FE acts in the figure). 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 FE in the figure represents the force that the Earth would exert on the building in the case where the building would just begin to tip.] Express your answer using two significant figures.
