MAT1322 IMAGE A reservoir has a rectangular door located at the bottom

A reservoir has a rectangular door located at the bottom of one of its vertical sides, as shown in the diagram below. The reservoir is 6m high and filled to the top with water. The door is 4m wide by 2m high. 4y +6 m Let y represent the height from the bottom of the reservoir. Find the hydrostatic force exerted by the water on the door. +2 m Note that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s'. -0 m -4 m A. 392000 N B. 705 600 N C. 1372 000 N D. 3258 500 N E. 4939 200 N F. 1984 500 N G. 808 500 N H. 1 200 500 N
