Hoover Dam was built in the 1930s to provide electricity for the southwest U.S. and to prevent the wild Colorado River from flooding. Hoover Dam is about 380 m wide and is about 221 m high. ume that Hoover Dam can be approximated by slab geometry with a width of 380 m (W). What is the total force (newtons) on the dam face if the water level from Lake Mead (holding basin for Hoover Dam) is 200 m (D)? ume the density of water in Lake Mead is 1000 kg/m3
