| Introduction |
||
|
|
A problem is given to students after a field trip to a dam. To simplify the analysis, assume that the dam structure is an inclined plane surface and has the dimensions shown in the figure. The water level behind the dam is 700 ft. | |
| Question |
||
|
Determine the magnitude and location of the resultant force exerted
on the dam surface by the water. |
