Question: 1 1 - 9 6 A 2 - m - high, 4 - m - wide rectangular advertisement panel is attached to a 4 -

11-96 A 2-m-high, 4-m-wide rectangular advertisement panel is attached to a 4-m-wide, 0.15-m-high rectangular concrete block (density =2300kgm3) by two 5-cm-diameter, 4-m-high (exposed part) poles, as shown in Fig. P11-96. If the sign is to withstand 150kmh winds from any direction, determine (a) the maximum drag force on the panel, (b) the drag force acting on the poles, and (c) the minimum length L of the concrete block for the panel to resist the winds. Take the density of air to be 1.30kgm3.
