There is a tank with a high water level is set at an elevation of 2,010 and the bottom of the tank is set at an elevation of 1,992. Located along the wall of the tank there is an opening that is 4.7 x 4.7 feet set such that the bottom of the opening is at the same elevation as the tank. Assuming the water is at 60 F. What is the hydrostatic force acting on the opening? Report your answer to the nearest whole pound force (lbf).
