Shown is the cross-section of a gravity retaining wall. Knowing that b = 10 ft and h = %3D 27 ft, locate the center of gravity of the dam in the x-y plane. The retaining wall is uniform in cross-section (prismatic), so point G represents the c.g. in the x-y plane and the centroid of the cross-sectional area shown. Enter y below, and express your answer in feet to the nearest 0.1 ft. b/2 y Тыло b/4 b/4 Your written solution must show all calculations for g and y. You may also want to practice determining the moment of inertia for this area about the x-axis, y-axis, and axes parallel to x and y passing through G.
