### Hydrostatic Force on a Submerged Semicircular Plate

**Problem Statement:**
A semicircular plate with a radius of 9 meters is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 1 meter above the surface. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use 9.8 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the mass density of water is 1000 kg/m³.)

**Integral Expression:**
\[ 
2 \rho g \int_{0}^{9 - 1} (\sqrt{9^2 - x^2}) x \, dx 
\]
where:
- \(\rho = 1000 \) kg/m³ (mass density of water)
- \(g = 9.8 \) m/s² (acceleration due to gravity)
- \(x\) ranges from the top to the bottom of the submerged plate

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram illustrates a semicircular plate fully submerged in water with a portion extending 1 meter above the water surface. The depth is denoted \(x\) and the horizontal span is \( \sqrt{9^2 - x^2} \), representing the distance across the plate at a depth \(x\).

### Analytical Approach:

1. **Hydrostatic Pressure Calculation:**
   \[
   P = \rho g h
   \]
   where \(h\) is the depth below the water surface.

2. **Force Calculation:**
   The differential force \(dF\) on a thin strip at depth \(x\):
   \[
   dF = P \cdot dA 
   \]
   where \(dA\) is the area of the strip.
   \[
   dA = 2 (\sqrt{9^2 - x^2}) \cdot dx
   \]
   Hence:
   \[
   dF = \rho g x \cdot 2 (\sqrt{9^2 - x^2}) \cdot dx
   \]

3. **Integral Setup:**
   \[ 
   F = 2 \rho g \int_{0}^{8} (\sqrt{9^2 - x^2}) x \, dx 
   \]

**Evaluate the Integral:**
The solution involves integrating the function over the given limits and then multiplying by
