A dam is inclined at an angle of 30 rom the vertical and has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid 180 ft wide at the top and 90 ft wide at the bottom and with a slant height of 130 ft. Find the hydrostatic force on the dam when it is full of water. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft',)
Video Example EXAMPLE 1 A dam has the shape of a trapezoid shown in the top figure. The height is 20 m and the width is 40 m at the top and 20 m at the bottom. Find the force on the dam due to hydrostatic pressure if the water level is 6 m from the top of the dam. 40 m SOLUTION We choose a vertical x-axis with origin at the surface of the water and directed downward as...
2. Adam the shape of a trapezoid is shown below. The height is 40m, the bottom. Find the force on the dam due to hydrostatic pressure if the water n below. The height is 40m, the width is 60m at the top and 40m at dam. Assume that the density of water is p = 1000kg/m', and th c pressure if the water level is 4m from the top of the of water is p=1000 kg/m' and the acceleration of...
