1. A masonry dam of trapezoidal cross section, with one face vertical, has a thickness of 2 ft at the top and 10 ft at the bottom. It is 22 ft high and has a horizontal base. The vertical face is subjected to water pressure, the water standing 15 ft above the base. The weight of the masonry is 150 lb per cu ft.
