  1. A vertical dam at the end of a reservoir is in the form of an isosceles trapezoid: 100 m across at the surface of the water, 60 m across at the bottom. Given that the reservoir is 10 m deep, calculate the force of the water on the dam.

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.)
