Question: Need help finding the X bar. Have found Rx = 1 5 8 9 . 2 2 kN and Ry = 7 0 8 0

Need help finding the X bar. Have found Rx =1589.22kN and Ry =7080.86kN
A concrete dam of mass density 2,400kgm3 with dimensions a=9m,b=8m and c=7m, is subject to a hydrostatic fluid pressure on its right hand face. If the density of water is 1,000kgm3 and the dam is very long out of plane, determine:
The horizontal and vertical support reactions exerted by the ground on the base AB of the dam.
Assuming that the dam rotates about the bottom left corner (Point A), how far away from Point A must the vertical support reaction Ry act to ensure the
dam remains in static equilibrium'
Reactions:
Rx=
(tolerance 5kN)
Ry=
(tolerance 5kN)
Distance from Point A to the vertical support reaction Ry :
xbar=
(tolerance 0.1m)
