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
A smokestack is 25 m tall and1 m in diameter. It is exposed to wind of about 50 km/hr
at standard atmospheric conditions (20°C). Calculate the bending moment at the base of the
smokestack due to wind drag forces.

Use the following additional information: She drives mostly on the highway, about 16,000 miles per year at an average speed of 55 mph. The overall car efficiency is 0.308, rfuel = 50.2 lbm/ft3, and the heating value of the fuel is 1.47 * 107 ft·lbf/lbm. The fuel costs $4.00 per gallon. Use standard air properties.
