A gravity dam of trapezoidal cross- section with one face vertical and horizontal base is 22 m. high and has a thickness of 4 m. at the top. Water upstream stands 2 m. below the crest of the dam. The specific gravity of masonry is 2.4. A. Neglecting hydrostatic uplift 1. Find the base width B of the dam so that the resultant force will cut the extreme edge of the middle third near the toe. 2. Compute the factors of safety against sliding and overturning. Use H=0.5

Question
PLEASE ANSWER ONLY NUMBER 2 AND Use μ=0.6
THIS IS THE FORMULA BUT I COULDNT GET THE ANSWER BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE VALUE OF GAMMA (?). I JUST REPLACE THE VALUE OF μ OF .6
???=???/??
=0.6[24(11.175)( ?)+115.2 ? / 200?
PS: AND MAYBE YOU CAN TEACH ME WHAT IS THE VALUE OF GAMMA IN HERE BECUASE I DON'T KNOW. IF I KNOW THE VALUE OF IT I WOULD NOT ASK HERE.
