Question:
The Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) in Chicago is \(1454 \mathrm{ft}\) tall. Assuming that it is a tall rectangle with a square base of \(120 \mathrm{ft}\) sides, calculate the maximum drag force on the building and the force when the wind is along the diagonal of the structure as a function of wind speed from Beaufort Wind Scales of strong breeze \((28 \mathrm{mph})\) to hurricane \((75 \mathrm{mph})\). Assuming that the wind field is uniform, calculate the moment about the base of the Tower also.
