If you have a large body of water, one convenient way to hold it back can be a cylindrical gate. As pictured here, a quarter of the 10-ft radius cylindrical gate is submerged at the top of a body of water. Given that the cylindrical gate is 20-ft long, calculate the magnitude of the force of the water on the gate in lb-f.
