A radio antenna mounted on top of a car has a diameter of 3.35 x 10^3 m and a 1.22 m long. Determine (a) the bending moment at the base of the antenna if the car is driven 60 mph on still air at 20 C and atmospheric pressure.. (b)  the power needed to overcome the aerodynamic drag of the antenna. Assume Cd = 1.3. and Rair 0.287 kPa / m^3 /kg . K
