On a windy day you notice that a tall light pole is bent away from its equilibrium position. If the wind speed were to increase the pole would
A) remain bent by the same amount since aerodynamic drag forces, like sliding friction, are independent of the relative speed of the objects.
B) straighten out because the airflow would become laminar and reduce the drag force.
C) remain bent by the same amount because the larger drag force will be canceled by a larger restoring force.
D) bend further from its equilibrium position because the aerodynamic drag forces that are bending the pole will increase with the speed of the air moving around the pole.
