3. A concrete gravity dam in Bulacan has dimensions as shown below. Compute the resultant force(2 decimal places) due to the self-weight of the dam, weight of the water (defined by q1) and thehydrostatic pressure (defined by q2). Specify the location (3 decimal places) of the resultant forcewhere it intersects the ground. Measure its location by its distance from the toe of the dam. Thelength of the dam (perpendicular to the figure) is 50m. Use a unit weight of concrete of23.5kN/m?.L1L2q1H1H2Dam's Toeq2H1= 74 mH2= 48 mL1= 20 mL2= 6 mL3= 3.8 mq1= 470.88 kPaq2= 470.88 kPaR=kN (2 Decimal Places)X=m (3 Decimal Places)
