A 50-story building is being planned. It is to be 200.0m high with a base 40.0m by 70.0m. Its total mass will be about 1.8 X 107 kg and its weight therefore about 1.8 X 108 N suppose a 200-km/h wind exerts a force of 95- N/m2 over the 70.0-m-wide face (Fig. 9-74). Calculate the torque about the potential pivot point, the rear edge of the building (where FE acts in Fig. 9-74), and determine whether the building will topple. 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.
