Question
Determine the magnitude of the resultant hydrostatic force acting on the dam and its location, measured from the top surface of the water. The width of the dam is 9m ; ?w = 1.0 Mg/m3
Determine the magnitude of the resultant hydrostatic force acting on the dam.
Determine the location of the resultant hydrostatic force acting on the dam, measured from the top surface of the water.
Explanation / Answer
Magnitude=( 1000*9.81*6/2)*(9*6) =
Location of force = 2/3 *6 = 4 m from top
