A levee 5 ft high and 50 ft long (b = 50 ft) is holding back water stored in a reservoir. The water creates a distributed load that presses against the levee according to the function f(x) = pgb ∙ x where x is the starts at the top of the leave and extends downward. Calculate the reactions at the base of the levee required to hold back the water.
