A dam on a river is built so that the wall facing the water is shaped like the region above the curve y = 0.3x* and below the line y = 220. (Here, distances are measured in meters.) The water level is 40 meters below the top of the dam. Find the force (in Newtons) exerted on the dam by water kg pressure. (Water has a density of 1000- and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8- .) sec2 m m3

Question
Note: In the text, all questions use 62.5 pounds/ft as the force per volume density of water.
In metric, we would need Newtons/meter. The mass density per volume of water is 1000 kg/m³.
To convert this into a force density per volume, we multiply by gravity, approximately 9.8 m/s?. The
resulting quantity is the force density per volume in metric: 9800 N/m³.
