The cross section of a concrete dam is shown in the figure. Consider a 1-ft-wide section of the dam and take h=14.5 ft. Given, the specific weight of the fresh water, y = 62.4 lb/ft3 and the specific weight of concrete. Vc=150 lb/ft³ A 9 ft 6 ft 6 ft 1616 C B The resultant of the pressure forces is 18 ft Determine the resultant of the pressure forces exerted by the water on the face BC of the dam.
