Total Vertical Force given Vertical Normal Stress at Downstream Face Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Vertical Component of Force = Vertical Stress at a Point/((1/(144*Thickness of Dam))*(1+((6*Eccentricity at Downstream)/Thickness of Dam)))
Fv = σz/((1/(144*T))*(1+((6*ed)/T)))
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Vertical Component of Force - (Measured in Newton) - Vertical component of force is the resolved force acting along the vertical direction.
Vertical Stress at a Point - (Measured in Pascal) - Vertical Stress at a Point is the stress acting perpendicular to the surface.
Thickness of Dam - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Dam is the measurement or extent of dam from side to side.
Eccentricity at Downstream - Eccentricity at Downstream is the distance from point of application of resultant to center of base.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Vertical Stress at a Point: 2.5 Pascal --> 2.5 Pascal No Conversion Required
Thickness of Dam: 2.2 Meter --> 2.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Eccentricity at Downstream: 19 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Fv = σz/((1/(144*T))*(1+((6*ed)/T))) --> 2.5/((1/(144*2.2))*(1+((6*19)/2.2)))
Evaluating ... ...
Fv = 14.9948364888124
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
14.9948364888124 Newton --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
14.9948364888124 14.99484 Newton <-- Vertical Component of Force
