Determine the uplift pressure force on a gravity dam of $40\ \text{m}$ height, $10\ \text{m}$ top width with u/s face vertical and the base width $= 30\ \text{m}$. The tail water depth is $5\ \text{m}$ and the free board is $3\ \text{m}$. What will be the uplift pressure force when there is a drainage gallery at a distance of $6\ \text{m}$ from u/s face?
