a-trough-whose-cross-section-is-a-trapezoid-is-b-5-mathrm-m-across-at-the-bottom-a-7-pa755
(Solved):
A trough whose cross section is a trapezoid is \( b=5 \mathrm{~m} \) across at the bottom, \( a=7 ...
A trough whose cross section is a trapezoid is \( b=5 \mathrm{~m} \) across at the bottom, \( a=7 \mathrm{~m} \) across at the top, and \( 2 \mathrm{~m} \) deep. If the trough is filled to \( 1 \mathrm{~m} \) with water, what is the force due to water pressure on one end of the trough? (Hint: Using SI units, \( \rho g=9800 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \).) (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to two decimal places.)
