Question: A vertical dam has a semicircular gate as shown in the figure. The total depth d of the figure is 30 m, the height h

A vertical dam has a semicircular gate as shown in the figure. The total depth d of the figure is 30 m, the height h of air above the water level is 6 m, and the width w of the gate is 10 m.30 m6 m10 mA rectangular dam has height 30 m. The water level is 6 m below the top of the dam. A semicircular gate has its diameter of length 10 m along the bottom of the dam.Set up an integral that can be used to find the hydrostatic force (in N) against the gate. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Assume that the weight density of this water is 1,000 kg/m3.)0(1,000)(9.8)dxFind the hydrostatic force (in N) against the gate. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)N
