For the following computer problem, any appropriate software may be used. Input prompts should fully explain what is required of the user (the program should be user-friendly). The resulting output should be well labeled and self-explanatory.
Write a computer program that will allow the user to solve Problem. Assume constant dimensions for the wall, but a varying water level. User input will therefore be the height of the water behind the wall.
Problem
A concrete wall 8 ft high and 3 ft thick is monolithic with a concrete base. The wall has water behind one face to a height of 6 ft, as shown. Calculate the combined normal stresses at points A and B at the bottom of the wall in pounds per square inch and pounds per square foot. Consider a 1-ft length of wall. Assume the unit weight of concrete to be 150 pcf and the unit weight of water to be 62.4 pcf.
