Water stands at a depth D behind the vertical upstream face of a dam, as shown in Fig. 15-23. Let W be the width of the dam. (a) Find the resultant horizontal force exerted on the dam by the gauge pressure of the water and (b) the net torque due to the gauge pressure of the water exerted about a line through O parallel to the width of the dam. (c) Where is the line of action of the equivalent resultant force?
