In one example that we looked at in Chapter 11, we calculated the hydrostatic force of the water on the car door. The car plunged into a lake during an accident and lands at the bottom of the lake on its wheels. Now if we have a car door that looks like this figure below, what would be the total force on this car door due to water? The top edge of the car door was 2 meters below the water surface. The inside of the car was filled with air just like the example in Chapter 11. (3pts)
