I wonder how the physics would work with a flag that big.
Would the flag be too heavy to fly? If it did fly, would it tear easily?
Force over area applies big or small.
Bigger flag weighs more but makes up for it in area.
I was thinking the same.
Imagine a tangle that turned it into a wind sock with resistance to the wind.
If it acts as a sail it could topple a big building.
They are talking about this flagpole on Fox Weekend as I type this.
You’re a deep thinker, someone that thinks beyond what’s placed in front of him.
You have a good point - the physics. We have 60 MPH winds up here that crop up in just a few hours. Imagine those operating that flag pole not paying hourly attention to weather reports and get caught in a huge wind storm. A flag the size of a foot ball field fluttering in a wind storm would certainly put the whole structure to Mother Nature’s test.
