Question

I have been stuck on this problem for a while how do I do it.

earning Goal:
determine the force exerted by a fluid.
t a given point, a fluid at rest exerts a pressure, p, that
the same in all directions. The magnitude of p can be
etermined from the following relationship:
=yz = pgzwhere p is the fluid's mass density, y is
e fluid's specific weight, z is the point's depth
heasured from the fluid's surface), and a is the
ure

Part D
As shown, a gate has a parabolic shape that follows the equation y = C-², where C = 6.00 ft. (
Figure 2) The top of the gate is d = 2.10 ft beneath the water's surface. What is FR, the magnitude of the
force exerted on the gate by the water? The gate's width (perpendicular to the image) is b = 3.50 ft and the
water's specific weight is Yw = 62.4lb/ft³.
Express your answer numerically with the appropriate units to three significant figures.
