A dam is inclined at an angle of 30° from the vertical and has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid 160 ft wide at the top and 80 ft wide at the bottom and with a slant height of 110 ft. Find the hydrostatic force on the dam when it is full of water. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft3.)

An isosceles triangular plate of base 10 ft. and height 8 ft. is submerged vertically in water with its base at the top parallel to and 2 ft. below the surface. If the water has weight-density 64 lb/ft364 lb/ft3. How much force is the water exerting on one side of the plate? I've tried and gotten to the formula ∫(64x(5/4)(2-x) ) but I think I have the wrong limits on my integral. Can you help explain which limits I should...
