Question:

A water tower consists of a 12-m-diameter sphere on top of a vertical tower \(30 \mathrm{~m}\) tall and \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) in diameter. Estimate the bending moment exerted on the base of the tower due to the aerodynamic force imposed by a \(100 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}\) wind on a standard day. Neglect interference at the joint between the sphere and tower.
