Water flows from a two-dimensional open channel over a weir (the vertical plate in the figure). The pressure
distribution at sections (1) is hydrostatic. At section (2) the air cavity behind the weir has a pressure equal to the
atmospheric pressure. Determine the horizontal anchoring force (per unit width) required to hold the weir in place?
