1. deadstop2. safurce of person is 1.5m x 0.5m = 0.75 m^2so air strikes person at 40kg/s/m^2 * 0.75m^2 = 30 kg/sspeed of air is 100km/h = 27.8m/sforce of air is 30kg/s * 27.8m/s = 834 kg.m/s^2 = 834NMaximum force of friction is mew * m * g = 1.0 * 70kg * 9.8m/s^2 = 686NTranslation: the person is going to slide!Although from personal experience it takes a lot more than 100km/h to make you slide and at 100km/h the force of the wind is much less than your own weight.

It’s my pleasure to do so. Especially since I’m enyjiong the CD so much! Hopefully things will calm down here enough so that I can do more of these reviews, too. There are two more Guitar Noise members CDs a jazz standards done on classical guitar by Art Hodges (no relation) and Steinar Gregertsen’s tribute to Jimi Hendrix, done on slide and lap steels that are just as amazing in different ways. I can’t help but feeling that I’m pretty lucky to fill my day to day work with such great music. Peace
