The concrete gravity dam is designed so that it is held in position by its own weight. Determine the minimum dimension x so that the factor of safety against overturning about point A of the dam is 2. The factor of safety is defined as the ratio of the stabilizing moment divided by the overturning moment. The densities of concrete and water are respectively, Assume that the dam does not slide.
