Question 1125310: GENERAL: Building Swaying Modern skyscrapers are designed to bend in high winds. As a general rule, a 100 mile per hour wind can cause a tall building to bend by 0.002 radian. Find the length of arc through which the 2717-foot-tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai (the tallest building in the world) would bend in such a wind. [Note: Because of back-and-forth motion, the swaying might be twice this great]

The radius is the building height, so one radian is 2717 feet and 0.002 radian is 5.434 feet.
Both ways are double or 10.868 feet.
