A concrete dam of trapezoidal cross-section, with one face vertical, has a thickness of 0.60 m. at the top and 4.2 m at
the bottom. It is 7 m. high and has a horizontal base. The vertical face is subjected to water pressure, the water
standing 6m. above the base. The weight of concrete is 24 kN/m³ per meter length of the dam, evaluate the
following:
(a) the total hydrostatic force on the dam in kN
(b) The resisting moment of the dam to overturning in kN.m
(c) Factor of safety against overturning
