How do determine position of drainage gallery in a gravity dam?
Draingae
Why do engineers that design satellites need to know about gravity?
They need to know about gravity so it won't break the pressure. Read a book. IF you don't you are really stupid.
Why do dams sometimes burst?
Inadequate design, poor maintenance, earthquake, (terrorism), or other unforseen events. An example of a damanged (not burst) dam is the fairly recent dam in Russia that was severely damaged. The cause I believe is still under investigation.

What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of the gravity dams over earth dams?
Advantage of a gravity dam is that every section will be stable and reliable. An Earth dam can overflow and collapse because of erosion.
What type of resource is the Hoover Dam?
Hoover Dam is what is called an arch-gravity dam. The name curved-gravity dam or arched dam might also be applied. This type of dam uses a curve or arch which has it's apex or "top" directed ''against'' the force of the water it is retaining. This sets up a condition wherein the water will compress the dam against the sides to which it is anchored. Less material fill is required to hold this dam in place compared to a simple gravity dam. Use the link below to learn more. Another link will show lots of images of this and other dams of the same type.
What type of bridge is the Hoover Dam bridge?
gravity arch bridge
What is gravity dam?
A gravity dam is a solid structure, made of concrete or masonry, constructed across a river to create a reservoir on its upstream. The section of the gravity dam is approximately triangular in shape, with its apex at its top and maximum width at bottom. The section is so proportioned that it resists the various forces acting on it by its own weight. Most of the gravity dams are solid, so that no bending stress is introduced at any point and hence, they are sometimes known as solid gravity dams
