The superintendent of a national cemetery wants to erect a larger than usual flagpole and flag. The flag pole is 120 ft tall. The flag has a height, H = 18 ft, and a length, L = 36 ft. Assume the flag pole must withstand a wind of 55 mile/hr at 32°F when the flag is flying. The drag coefficient of the flag can be estimated by CD = 0.05L/H. If the pole has a diameter of 8.5 in., determine the total force exerted on the pole. Assume that the pole is a smooth long cylinder and that the total drag is superposition of those for the stand alone flag and pole

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The overall force will be the same as to the magnitude of that vector. As a simple example, if you have 10N at 0o and 10N at 45o you get a resulting vector →F whose components are Fx=17.07N and Fy=7.07N.
