Consider a 200-ft-high, 1200-ft-wide dam filled to capacity. Determine (a) the hydrostatic force on the dam and (b) the force per unit area of the dam near the top and near the bottom. Note: we will see that the resultant hydrostatic force will be

a)  

b)  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height

Width

a)

Generally the equation for Dam's Hydro static force is mathematically given by

Where

Therefore

b)

Generally the equation for Dam's Force per unit area is mathematically given by

For Top

For bottom

Therefore

technology is the application of the knowledge gained by science.
