//Let L=1 m (length of dam)
L=1
//W=b*H*L*rho
//After substituting values and Further simplifying we get
//W=2*H*rho

//Total Pressure
//P=W*H**2*2**-1

//Distance of pt where resultant cuts the base measured from Line of action
//x=P*W**-1*H*3**-1
//After substituting values and Further simplifying we get
//x=H**2*30**-1

//x_bar+x=2*b*3**-1
//After substituting values and Further simplifying we get
//1+H**2*30**-1=2*b*3**-1
H=(30*(2*b*3**-1-1))**0.5 //height of dam

//Frictional Resistance offered at the base
//F=mu*W
//After substituting values and Further simplifying we get
//F=3.16*rho

//Total Lateral Pressure
//P=W*H**2*2**-1
//P=4.99*W

//Factor of safety against sliding
//FOS1=F*P**-1=3.16*4.99**-1*rho_mason*rho_w**-1
