Please help me with this activity. All information is in the image. According to my user, the data will be:X=6S=1Z=0 Therefore, you are asked to calculate: a) The flow in the dam, Q, and The total loads at points A, B and C.
A rectangular flume is 15 cm wide and 8 cm high. The freeboard is 25% of the flume height. What is the hydraulic radius in cm?
A dam is triangular in cross-section with the upstream face vertical. Water is flushed with the top. The dam is 8 m high and 6 m wide at the base and weighs 1.3 tons per cubic meter. The coefficient of friction between the base and the foundation is 0.8. Determine the maximum unit pressure in kPa on the foundation.
An engineer proposes as a solution to the problem of the dam, to reinforce it according to the figure shown, but now the critical height h of the water level must be determined, which would make the indicated concrete reinforcement on the verge of overturning due to the water pressure. 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.
6. 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 -6m
1.) Situation 11. A rectangular vertical gate, 0.60 m wide and 2.45 m high and weighing 1.78 kN, is hinged at the bottom. There is water on both sides of the gate, 4.9 m on one side and 1.80 m on the other. The gate, however, is held in place by a horizontal force F applied at the top of the gate. Under the above conditions, determine the horizontal force F and the amount and direction of the reaction at the hinge. Assume weight of water to be 9.81 kN/cu.m. W.S. 2.45 m 0.60 m B 1.78 kN 2.45 m 1.80 m P.- P: hinge
