A trough is 10 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 4 meters deep. The vertical cross-section of the trough parallel to an end is shaped like an isosceles triangle (with height 4 meters, and base, on top, of length 3 meters). The trough is full of water (density 1000kg/m^3). Find the amount of work in joules required to empty the trough by pumping the water over the top. (Note: Use g=9.8ms^2 as the acceleration due to gravity.)

A dam on a river is built so that the wall facing the water is shaped like the region above the curve y=0.3 x^4 and below the line y= 140 . (Here, distances are measured in meters.) The water level is 20 meters below the top of the dam. Find the force (in Newtons) exerted on the dam by water pressure. (Water has a density of 1000 "kg"/m^3, and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/sec^2 .)
