Wind loading is a primary consideration in the design of the supporting mechanisms of billboards, as evidenced by many billboards being knocked down during high winds. Determine the wind force acting on an 12-ft-high, 20-ft-wide billboard due to 55-mi/h winds in the normal direction when the atmospheric conditions are 14.3 psia and 40°F.
