Question

A 20.0-m tall hollow aluminum flagpole is equivalent in strength to a solid cylinder 4.00 cm in diameter. A strong wind bends the pole much as a horizontal force of 1200 N exerted at the top would.

f = 1200 N

How far to the side does the top of the pole flex in mm? Assume the shear modulus is 2.5x1010 N/m2.

ΔL =
