In the following picture, you can see a concrete dam (trapezoid ABEO) and water behind it (rectangle BCED). Water applies a hydrostatic force to the dam, which causes overturning moment about point O. What is the minimum value of X to avoid overturning of the dam? Consider Pconcrete = 2.5 Mg/m³ and pwater = 1 Mg/m2. AB and BE are 1 m and 6 m, respectively. Also, width of the dam, normal to the plane of the figure, is 1 m.

Question
In the following picture, you can see a concrete dam (trapezoid ABEO) and water behind it (rectangle BCED). Water applies a hydrostatic force to the dam, which causes overturning moment about point O. What is the minimum value of X to avoid overturning of the dam? Consider ????????? = 2.5 ??/?? and ?????? = 1 ??/??. AB and BE are 1 m and 6 m, respectively. Also, width of the dam, normal to the plane of the figure, is 1 m.
