Transcribed Image Text:A dam is constructed in the shape of a trapezoid. The width of the top of the dam
is 102 m and the width of the bottom is 70 m. The height of the dam is 14 m. If
the water level is 5 m from the top of the dam, what is the hydrostatic force on
the dam? Water density is 1000 kg/m³ and acceleration due to gravity is
9.8 m/s². If necessary, round your answer to the nearest Newton.
