You are hired by a developer to calculate the total forces on the bottom of the side of a dam where steps are constructed to enter the pool. The schematic of the pool and the steps is shown below. The steps are 0.5 m high, 1 m deep extending into the pool and 3 m wide. The vertical resultant force (Total Force) on the bottom of the pool is---- -------kN. The pool operates at ambient temperature and the specific weight of the water is 9800 Newton per cubic meters. Use gage values for your calculations. water Pool
