Wind Load Calc

This document provides formulas and values for calculating wind force on equipment. It includes the general wind force formula, definitions of variables in the formula like wind velocity and exposure, and sample calculations applying the formula for a specific structure with a height of 2.5 meters and wind velocity of 200 kph. It also provides parameters for calculating the volume, weight when empty and full of a spherical tank with a 7mm thick shell and capacity of 75.6 cubic meters of water.
