Question

Solve correctly 

A vertical dam has a semicircular gate as shown in the figure. The total depth d of the figure is 14 m, the heighth of air above the water level is 2 m, and
the width w of the gate is 4 m. Find the hydrostatic force against the gate. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use 9.8 m/s² for the
acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the weight density of water is 1000 kg/m³.)
