A sign is exposed to a 15 m/s wind on a standard day. Estimate the drag on the sign if(a) the sign is aligned lengthwise to the wind.(b) the sign is crosswise to the wind (wind perpendicular to the face of the sign). ### Problem Statement:A sign is exposed to a 15 m/s wind on a standard day. Estimate the drag on the sign if:(a) the sign is aligned lengthwise to the wind.(b) the sign is crosswise to the wind (wind perpendicular to the face of the sign).### Diagram Explanation:The diagram below the problem statement shows a rectangular sign mounted on two posts. The sign's dimensions are detailed as follows:- **Width**: 12 feet- **Height**: 6 feetThe wind direction for part (b) (crosswise to the sign) is indicated as being perpendicular to the face of the sign.In this visual representation, the wind is shown as lines moving towards the sign to help illustrate the problem's context. The horizontal dimension (12 feet) is labeled on the top edge of the sign, while the vertical dimension (6 feet) is labeled on the right edge of the sign. The ground and mounting posts are also depicted, with the posts partially embedded in the ground and extending upwards to support the sign.
