I keep putting in newtons and its wrong so I guess just in decimal which an not sure help please

 

A dam on a river is built so that the wall facing the water is shaped like the region above the curve
y = 0.3x4 and below the line y = 240. (Here, distances are measured in meters.) The water level is 24
meters below the top of the dam. Find the force (in Newtons) exerted on the dam by water pressure.
