(a) Determine the wind pressure distribution on the four sides of the 10-story hospital shown in Figure P2.15. The building is located near the Georgia coast where the wind velocity contour map in the ASCE Standard specifies a design wind speed of 140 mph. The building, located on level flat ground, is classified as stiff because its natural period is less than 1 s. On the windward side, evaluate the magnitude of the wind pressure every 35 ft in the vertical direction. (b) Assuming the wind pressure on the windward side varies linearly between the35-ft intervals, determine the total wind force on the building in the direction of the wind. Include the negative pressure on the leeward side.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. The torque of a cumulative compound motor for a given current is less than it would be for a shunt motor. 2. The cumulative compound motor has a definite no-load speed and will not build up to destructive speeds if the load is removed. 3. The speed regulation of a cumulative compound-wound motor is inferior to that of a shunt motor and superior to that of a series motor. 4. It is conventional to reverse the current in the field circuits to reverse the rotation of a compound-wound motor. 5. Because the field decreases with a load increase, a differential compound motor has a tendency for load instability.
