8. A masonry dam (sp.gr.=2.4) of a trapezoidal cross section with one face vertical and a horizontal base is 944.64 inches high. Its crest width is 78.72 inches and the width of the base is 472.32 inches. What should be the depth of water on the vertical side if the resultant pressure intersects the base at the outer edge of the middle third or 78.72 inches from the middle of the base? (no hydrostatic uplift)
