Hello Everyone!
I was asked to calculate what is the wind speed that can flip a traffic barrel, which picture I'm attaching. It's composed of a barrel (red) and base (grey), which is filled with 14 liters of water.
The picture only resembles the shape. The dimensions are these
Barrel:
Height: 105 cm ( without counting the small container for light on top)
Top diameter: 30 cm
Diameter at base level: 35 cm
Bottom diameter: 42 cm
weight: around 3.5 kg
Base:
Inner diameter at top: 35 cm
Inner diameter at bottom: 42 cm
Outer diameter: 60 cm
weight: 3.5 kg empty, 17.5 kg filled.with waterI've cracked my head for days and can't find the answer ... This is my last chance!
Thanks,
Fabian
