The forces acting on the concrete dam body in the diagram are the hydrostatic pressure and the seepage water pressure. The density of concrete is assumed to be $2.4\mathrm{t}/{\mathrm{m}}^3$. Accordingly: $\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{Fx}=\text{ ? }$ $\mathrm{b}-\mathrm{Fy}=$ ? $c$ - W1 (Weight of the triangular region $)=$ ? d- In order for the dam to have a safety factor of 1.75 against overturning per unit width, determine the weight of the dam foundation (W2) and the height of the foundation (x) as indicated in the diagram (shaded blue area).
