A vertical dam has the form of an isosceles trapezoid with horizontal sides parallel. The dam is 25 m
high, 20 m in its lower part and 40 m in its upper part. Finally, the dam retains 15 m of water, as
indicated in the figure below.
-40
25
15
-20
a) Let y denote the height in meters measured from the base of the dam. The hydrostatic force exerted
by the water on the portion of the dam comprised between y m and y + Ay m is approximately
P(y) Ay N. What is p (y)? Note that the density of water is p = 1000 Kg/ m3 and the
acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface is g = 9.8 m /s2. Express your answer as a
formula.
Answer:
b) In Newtons, what is the total hydrostatic force exerted on the dam?
FORMATTING: If you round your answer, ensure that the round-off error is less than 1% of the value.
