Answer:
[tex]26852726.19\ \text{N}[/tex]
[tex]57.52^{\circ}[/tex]
Explanation:
r = Radius of circle = 7 m
w = Width of dam = 60 m
h = Height of the dam will be half the radius = [tex]\dfrac{r}{2}[/tex]
A = Area = [tex]rw[/tex]
V = Volume = [tex]w\dfrac{\pi r^2}{4}[/tex]
Horizontal force is given by
[tex]F_x=\rho ghA\\\Rightarrow F_x=1000\times 9.81\times \dfrac{7}{2}\times 7\times 60\\\Rightarrow F_x=14420700\ \text{N}[/tex]
Vertical force is given by
[tex]F_y=\rho gV\\\Rightarrow F_y=1000\times 9.81\times 60\times \dfrac{\pi 7^2}{4}\\\Rightarrow F_y=22651982.59\ \text{N}[/tex]
Resultant force is
[tex]F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\sqrt{14420700^2+22651982.59^2}\\\Rightarrow F=26852726.19\ \text{N}[/tex]
The hydrostatic force on the dam is [tex]26852726.19\ \text{N}[/tex].
The direction is given by
[tex]\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{F_y}{F_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{22651982.59}{14420700}\\\Rightarrow \theta=57.52^{\circ}[/tex]
The line of action is [tex]57.52^{\circ}[/tex].
