For the reservoir at the top of the figure: a) Determine the width of a wall on the chamfer (diagonal face) at the left end that can safely support the water in the reservoir at the elevation shown if the wall material can support 2500 pounds per square foot. Also, determine the diagonal distance from the lower end of the chamfer to the resultant force. b) Determine whether a hollow concrete block with outside dimensions of 2’ X 3’ X 5’ weighing 2000 pounds will float in the reservoir and, if so, how much of the block will remain above the water surface. (Consider the likely orientation of the block in the water.) solve using the bournellis equations and can you please show the formulas and solving it thank you
