Consider the concrete gravity dam shown in (Figure 1). The density of concrete is ?c?=2400kg/m3. The density of water is ?w?=1000kg/m3. Suppose that Determine the critical height h of the water level that causes the concrete gravity dam to be on the verge of tipping hd?=30m and b=9m. over. Assume water also seeps under the base of the dam and produces a uniform pressure under the dam. Hint: Work the problem using a 1?m width of the dam. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
