Water stands at a depth D=35 m behind the vertical upstream face of a dam of width W=314 m.
Find the net horizontal force on the dam from the gauge pressure of the water:
I am quite lost here. I thought it would just be F=Pressure*Area
=(rho*g*D)(D*W). But that is horribly wrong. What am I missing?
