The triangular sign in Figure 1 is embeddee in a concrete block at B . The air pressure (called stagnation pressure) againsrt the vertical surface for a given wind speed is P0 abd uniform on the triangular surface .1- Determine the sum of the pressure force wrench (vector) acting on the triangular surface in terms of P0 and L
2-a) Prove that the moment about O of the pressure force wrench is of the form
M(O)=[x0Z](x,y,z)
Determine x and Z in terms of P0 and L
3- Prove that the pressure force wrench can be reduced to a unique sliding vector.
4- Prove that the line of action of the equivalent force passes through the point of coordinates OI**=[-a0-a](x,y,z) and give the value of a in terms of L. What is this particular point I**?
5- Using the shifting equation, give the moment about B of the force wrench associated with the air pressure in terms of x,Z,P0,L and d. Same question but give the moment about B in terms of P0,L,a and d.
7- Numerical application: find the sum and moment at B for L=2m;d=1m;P0=1.4kPa (corresponding to a wind speed of 100kmh)
The triangular sign in Figure 1 is embeddee in a
