Structural Area • When designing a building, you must be sure that the building can withstand hurricane-force winds, which have a velocity of 73mi/h or more. The formula F = 0.004Av2 gives the force F in pounds exerted by a wind blowing against a flat surface. A is the area of the surface in square feet, and v is the wind velocity in miles per hour. • How much force is exerted by a 73mi/h wind blowing directly against the side of the building shown. 6ft 12ft 20ft
