A trough, 10meters long is filled with a liquid of density 840 kg/m3. Its cross section is in the shape of a parabola with base width of 4m at the top and a height of 5m. If the trough is filled with water to a depth of 4 meters, find the force due to liquid pressure acting on one end of the trough. (Note: Place the liquid surface along the x-axis.)
