Transcribed Image Text:PROBLEM #3 - (25 POINTS)
In the motion picture "Jaws", a team is trying to capture a
large Great White Shark by attaching three empty barrels
to the shark to force it to the surface.
However, the team is surprised to learn that the shark can
still submerge and swim deep below the surface with
three drums attached to it.
Please determine the minimum weight of the shark (in
pounds) in order to overcome the buoyancy forces of
these three barrels and show all work.

Say that you are tasked with determining if a concrete dam was safe to resist hydrostatic loads. Your
assessment revealed that your dam is susceptible to overturning and you recommend installing
tension anchors at 10 feet on center through the dam and secured into the rock below.
To justify this design, please:
1. Sketch a free body diagram of this dam, showing all expected forces.
2. Determine the hydrostatic pressures acting on the dam.
3. Determine the magnitude and resultant of each hydrostatic force.
4. What tension force must the anchors provide if they are to help resist the overturning moments with
with a factor of safety of at least 2.0?
