Question: A 2 - m - high, 5 - m - wide rectangular advertisement panel is attached to a 6 - m - wide, 2 5

A 2-m-high, 5-m-wide rectangular advertisement panel is attached to a 6-m-wide, 25 cm-high rectangular concrete block (density =2400 kg/m3) by two 8-cm-diameter, 8- m-high (exposed part) poles, as shown in the figure. If the sign is to withstand 150 km/h 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 1.25 kg/m3. Take CD to be 0.3 for a circular rod and 2.05 for a flat rectangular plate perpendicular to the flow.
