Calculate the eccentricity of a rectangular dam of width 4 m. Take the distance between the water face and point where resultant cuts the base as 5.25 m.

Calculate the eccentricity of a rectangular dam of width 4 m. Take the distance between the water face and point where resultant cuts the base as 5.25 m. Correct Answer 3.25m

Eccentricity = e = Z – b/ 2 Where Z = 5.25 m & b = 4m ; Now, e = Z- b/2 e = 5.25 – 4/2 = 3.25m.
