FAQs on Net Effective Weight of Dam

What is the formula to find Net Effective Weight of Dam?
The formula of Net Effective Weight of Dam is expressed as Net Effective Weight of Dam = Total Weight of Dam-((Total Weight of Dam/Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration)*Fraction Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration). Here is an example- 0.225025 = 250000-((250000/9.81)*0.98).
How to calculate Net Effective Weight of Dam?
With Total Weight of Dam (W), Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration (g) & Fraction Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration (av) we can find Net Effective Weight of Dam using the formula - Net Effective Weight of Dam = Total Weight of Dam-((Total Weight of Dam/Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration)*Fraction Gravity adapted for Vertical Acceleration).
Can the Net Effective Weight of Dam be negative?
No, the Net Effective Weight of Dam, measured in Force cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Net Effective Weight of Dam?
Net Effective Weight of Dam is usually measured using the Kilonewton[kN] for Force. Newton[kN], Exanewton[kN], Meganewton[kN] are the few other units in which Net Effective Weight of Dam can be measured.
