around 53 km/h ...

never mind. Changes with temperature, and other factors. I think I have what I need. Thanks!

I understand what you are saying ... Its Torque, not force. I did a free object diagram and the torque is T = m*g*r (r = radius). Say I get the drag coefficient. What about air density ?

Sophiecentaur, Shouldn't the torque be the weight times vertical distance between top edge and centre of mass? The wind acts horizontally ...

I've come to a point in which I need to calculate the moment of inertia of the base and the body, both of which are 3 by 3 matrices. Help please.

I know :wink:

Hold on. Static friction, normal force ... it's coming back to me

I used to. Many many years ago.

So far, research on formulas. You are right, there is so much information on this in the web, that I don't know where to start. Could you at least give me some directions please ?

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...

Hello, hello ... Yes , you can tell I'm a Beatles fan :smile:. I know I will find the answers to the ultimate question! Thanks, DickyMoe
