The figure shows a gravity dam that is retaining a 30 m head of water. The geotechnical engineers monitoring the dam are concerned about the possibility of a slip failure, where the soil would shear (fail) along the dotted arc between B and C and the dam would rotate about A. Calculate the moment about A, per meter of dam (into the page), due to the water pressure on the wetted surface of the dam. (Density of water p = 1000 kg/m3). = A 10 m 30 m 540 B с
