Amodel of a high-rise office building at 1/550 scale is tested in a wind tunnel to estimate the pressures and forces on the full-scale structure. the wind-tunnel air speed is 20 m/s at 20°c and atmospheric pressure, and the full-scale structure is expected to withstand winds of 200 km/h (10°c). if the extreme values of the pressure coefficient are found to be 1.0, –2.7, and –0.8 on the windward wall, side wall, and leeward wall of the model, respectively, what corresponding pressures could be expected to act on the prototype? if the lateral wind force (wind force on building normal to wind direction) was measured as 20 n in the model, what lateral force might be expected in the prototype in the 200 km/h wind?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
