Question 2 (1 point) This swing gate is used to hold back water in a channel. The channel is 1 m wide, and the water is h = 0.9 metres deep. The swing gate sits at an angle of θ = 25 degrees, as depicted.

The gate could be supported entirely by a force and moment on the pin at the bottom, or by other reaction forces at mountings not shown in this diagram. Neglecting the weight of the gate, determine the total horizontal force that must be sustained by the gate, in Newtons. Enter your answer with 0 decimal places.
