The concrete graviy" dam is heid in place by its awn weight (Egute.1) The density of concrote is   pc​=2.5Mg/m2   and water has a density of  ρw​=1.0Mg/m3. Suppose that  a=1⋅m ,h=8 m Figure Part A Determinn the setillest dimension d that will prevent the dam hom overturning about is end  A. 

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units: d=_______

The concrete "gravity" dam is held in place by its own
weight (Figure 1) The density of concroto is
Pe 25 Mg/m², and water has a density of
P
1.0 Mg/m² Suppose that a 1 mi, h=8 m
