Problem #$1$: A gate in an irrigation canal is constructed in the form of a trapezoid $6m$ wide at the bottom, $48m$ wide at the top, and $2m$ high. It is placed vertically in the canal so that the vater just covers the gate. Find the hydrostatic force on one side of the gate.

Note that your answer should be in Newtons, and use $g=9\mathrm{.}8\frac{m}{s^2}.$
