Computer Problem

The cross section of a concrete dam is as shown.  For the dam section of 1m width, plot the magnitude of the resultant of the reaction forces exerted by the ground on the base AB of the dam and the resultant of the pressure forces exerted by the water on the face BC of the dam as function of the depth d of the water for 0<d<24ft.  The specific gravities of concrete and water are 150 lb/ft^3 and 64.2 lb/ft^3 respectively.
