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 8 m; rhow = 1.0 Mg/m3.

Respuesta :

In your question a figure of dam is missing.where height is given which 6 m

Answer:

Force=1.41×10⁶ Newton

Location from surface of water= 4 m

Explanation:

Given Data

w (width)=8 m

p=1.0 Mg/m³

Force=?

Location=?

Solution

[tex]p=6(1)(10^{3} )(9.8)\\p=58860 \frac{N}{m^{2} }\\ Force=\frac{1}{2}(6)(8)(58,860)\\ F=1.41*10^{6}N\\ F=1.41MN\\h(location)=2/3(6)\\h=4m[/tex]
