A trapezoidal masonry dam is 10 m high and retains water upto the height of 8.5 m. The width at the top is 3 m and at bottom 6 m. Find the maximum and minimum intensities of the normal stress at the base. Take Density of Masonry D 22 kN/m3. Coefficient of friction between the dam and soil is 0.50. Allowable compressive stress is 340000 N/m2. Check for stability of the dam.

Show the complete solution and the necessary graphs/diagrams. Use 2 decimal places in the final answer. The rotation of the 0.9-m arm OA about O is defined by the relation Eq. (1), where θ is expressed in radians and t in seconds. Collar B slides along the arm in such a way that its distance from O is Eq. (2), where r is expressed in meters and t in seconds. After the arm OA has rotated through 30°, determine the relative acceleration of the collar with respect to the arm (m/s^2).
