A piece of material experiences a unknown distributed load of snow along its entire surface area of 1650 fť² . The snow loading is 0.350ft tall across the entire surface, along a 90ft long surface. The surface has an uneven width as shown in the diagram. Treating the snow to have the same properties of water, determine the magnitude of the resultant force that the snow exerts on the material (hint: an integral will be necessary). 0.350FE 30FE 2 1650ff 90ft
