A tidal barrage is in the shape of a quarter cylinder of radius r=16m, as shown in the picture above. If the barrage is 13m wide and holds back water of density 1014kg/m³ to its full height, what is the magnitude of the vertical force on the barrage? Assume that the atmospheric pressure is constant. Give your answer in Kilo Newtons to the nearest whole number. Use an acceleration due to gravity of g=9.81m/s²
