General equation of parabola w.r.

t focus(h,k)

The parabola must pass from (p,q)

A/C to the theory,

(p,q ) will satisfy equation

) ……………………equ(i)

For y=m to be tangent a parabola discriminant must be be ‘0’ when solved with parabola.

Put y=mx ,

…………equ(ii)

…………(ii)

If k=0 lie on (x-axis)

Then equation becomes,

as ’ ’ can never be equal to ‘0’.

From equation (i) i.e.

Substitute value of & k=0 as it lie on x-axis.

Where p,q is known coordinate , m is slope of dam sloping surface

Slope of dam surface = 300

tan(300)=

P=100-1.224q

From equation ,

, q= water level

q=30cm water level

900

Solving quadratic equation ,

h2 =49.6510 ……….(meet somewhere at very large distance from

origin, has larger a value)
