The density of the concrete 2.40 Mg/m^3, H=18m and d= 6m. Hints: use typical values of water, consider one meter width of the dam to then generalize and don't forget point A.arrow_forward6. Determine the critical height of the water level that causes the concrete gravity dam to be on the verge of tipping over. Assume water also seeps under the base of the dam and produces a uniform pressure under the dam. The density of concrete is pc = 2400 kg/m³. Hint: Work the problem using a 1-m width of the dam. 18 m h -6marrow_forward
