The dimensions of the face of a dam, in the shape of a trapesiod are 40 m wide, 30 m deep, and the bottom width is 20m. Assuming the water level is at the top of the dam, find the total force on the face of the dam. Use 1000 kg/m^2 for water density and 9.8 m/s^2 for acceleration due to gravity

Avertical dam has a semicircular gate as shown in the figure. Thetotal depth dofthe figure is 10 m,the height hofair above the water level is 2 m,and the width wofthe gate is 8 m.Find the hydrostatic force against the gate. (Round your answer tothe nearest whole number. Use 9.8 m/s²forthe acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the weight density ofwater is 1000 kg/m³.)

Set up and calculate a definite integral giving the total force on the dam shown in the figure below, if the width w=3560m, height h=115m, and base width b=3160m, which are approximately the dimensions of the Aswan Dam in Egypt. Use g=9.8m/s^2.
