There is a dam shaped like a semicircle with 45° angulation. The dam consists of two structures: one 20 m high, generated by a second degree function, and the other rectilinear 10 m high. The forces on the dam should be analyzed in order to prevent its rupture. Determine: A) The graph of the resulting force as a function of the water height at the bottom of the dam B) The resulting force for a water height of 10 m C) The resulting force for a water height of 20 m 5,0 m 10,0 m 30,0 m 17,5 m
