Question:

It is proposed to build a pyramidal building with a square base with sides of \(160 \mathrm{ft}\), which has the same volume as the Willis Tower. Calculate the maximum drag force on this building. Do you expect the drag force to be greater, the same, or less than that for the Willis Tower? Why? and compare it to that for the Willis Tower under hurricane force conditions \((75 \mathrm{mph})\).
