*Diagram shows a quonset hut on the ground with a hole.*
3. **Problem (b):**
- **Scenario:** A hole is placed on the hut shell at a specific angle.
- **Question:** At what angle \(\theta\) should the hole be placed to ensure zero lift on the hut?

*Diagram shows a hut with a hole at angle \(\theta\).*
4. **Problem (c):**
- **Scenario:** The hut has a floor and sits above the ground, creating a crawl space with atmospheric pressure. No holes in the hut.
- **Question:** Will this setup cause the building to lift in the storm? Assume mass is still 15,000 kg.

Transcribed Image Text:**Quonset Hut Analysis in a Hurricane**
1. **Introduction:**
A quonset hut is a lightweight, metal building with a semicircular cross-section. We consider a quonset hut with a radius of 2 m and a length of 10 m. With a hurricane atmosphere having a pressure of 90 kPa and a temperature of 30°C, wind blows at 60 m/s directly crosswise to the hut. We assume two-dimensional flow conditions along the length of the hut.
2. **Problem (a):**
- **Scenario:** The hut is directly on the ground. A small hole exists, equating internal pressure with external pressure at the hole’s location.
- **Question:** Will the building lift off the ground? The hut's mass is 15,000 kg, made of steel. Neglecting drag, calculate using \(p = \rho RT\).
