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]
