![**Question 5**
**Problem Statement:**
Determine the resultant magnitude of the hydrostatic force that water exerts on the wall along the surface \(ABC\). The wall is \(15 \, \text{ft}\) wide (into the page). \(AB\) is a circular arc of radius \(3 \, \text{ft}\) and the length of \(BC\) is \(2 \, \text{ft}\).
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram depicts a cross-section of a water tank.
- A person is standing at the top of the tank next to point \(C\).
- The water surface is represented by a horizontal dashed line from point \(C\) to the other side.
- \(AB\) is a circular arc with a radius of \(3 \, \text{ft}\) reaching from point \(A\) at the bottom left of the circular portion to point \(B\) beside the straight wall section.
- The length \(BC\) is a vertical straight line segment on the right-hand wall of \(2 \, \text{ft}\).
- The water extends over the entire surface area, exerting hydrostatic force on it.
**Key Measurements:**
- The radius of the arc \(AB\) is \(3 \, \text{ft}\).
- The vertical length \(BC\) is \(2 \, \text{ft}\).
- The width of the wall into the page is \(15 \, \text{ft}\).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F93c89597-7ce2-4451-bd61-6716aa1c2201%2F5aa5e4d7-0f27-4664-adcb-56458a60f4d6%2F20evr1_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
