1. A quonset hut is a lightweight, metal building with a semicircular cross section. Consider a quonset
hut that has a radius of 2 m and is 10 m long. In a hurricane when the atmospheric pressure is 90
kPa and the temperature is 30°C, the wind is blowing with a speed of 60 m/s directly crosswise to
the quonset hut. Assume that conditions are the same for every cross section of the hut – that is,
the flow is two-dimensional everywhere along the length of the hut.
(a) Consider the case of the hut sitting directly on the ground. If there is a small hole in the hut,
the pressure everywhere inside the hut will be equal to the pressure outside the hut at the
point of the hole. Assume there is a hole just where the hut touches the ground. The building
is made of steel and has a mass of 15,000 kg. Will the building lift off the ground in the storm?
(Do not consider drag. Recall that p = pRT.) What assumptions do you need to use in order
to make this determination.

Air at standard pressure and temperature is compressed adiabatically to 3 am. What are (a) the density and (b) the temperature?
5. The local atmospheric pressure in Denver, Colorado (elevation 1610 m) is 83.4 kPa. Air at this pressure
and at 25°C flows with a velocity of 9 m/s over a 2.5-m x 5-m flat plate. Determine the drag force acting
on the top surface of the plate if the air flows parallel to the (a) 5-m-long side and (b) the 2.5-m-long
side.
