Consider the cross-section of the gravity concrete dam shown below. Check its stability against overturning about the point O. The specific weights of water and concrete are 9.81kN/m3 and 23.54 kN/m3, respectively. Take into consideration the unit length of the dam and assume that the bottom is impervious (neglect the buoyancy due to the water at foundation).

A syphon of diameter 200 mm connects two reservoirs having a difference in elevation of 15 m. The total length of the syphon is 600 m and the summit is 4 m above the water level in the upper reservoir. If the separation takes place at 2.8 m of water absolute, find the maximum length of syphon from upper reservoir to the summit. Take f= .004 and atmospheric pressure = 10.3 m of water.
