8. A masonry dam (sp.gr.=2.4) of a trapezoidal cross section with one face vertical and a horizontal base is 944.64 inches high. Its crest width is 78.72 inches and the width of the base is 472.32 inches. What should be the depth of water on the vertical side if the resultant pressure intersects the base at the outer edge of the middle third or 78.72 inches from the middle of the base? (no hydrostatic uplift)

A masonry dam of trapezoidal cross section, withone face vertical has a thickness of 60 cm at the top,3.70 m at the base, and has a height of 7.40 m.What is the depth of water on the vertical face ifthe resultant intersects the base at the downstreamedge of the middle third? Assume that the upliftpressure varies uniformly from full hydrostatic atthe heel to zero at the toe. Follow the steps: Step 1. Solve for all the forces. Step 2. Solve for Rx and Ry. Step 3. Solve for RM and OM. Step 4. Solve for x, where we will get the value of h or the depth of water. Note: The answer must be near or exactly 5.83m.
