A trough has a trapezoidal cross section. The vertical side is 3 m in height. There are two horizontal sides perpendicular to the vertical side, with the larger horizontal side being at the top and 2 m long, and the shorter side at the bottom is 1 m long. The width of the trough is 5 m.

(a)

Find the hydrostatic force (in N) on one end of the trough if it is completely full of oil.
 N

(b)

Compute the force (in N) on one end if the trough is filled to a depth of 1.8 m. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
