A vertical dam has a semicircular gate as shown in the figure. The total depth d of the figure is 14m, the height h of air above the water level is 2m, and the width w of the gate is 4m. Find the hydrostatic force (in N) against the gate. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use 9.8m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the weight density of water is 1,000kg/m3.) (i) N
