6. For the cellar of a new house, a hole is dug in the ground,
with vertical sides going down 2.40 m. A concrete foundation
wall is built all the way across the 9.60-m width of the excava-
tion. This foundation wall is 0.183 m away from the front of
the cellar hole. During a rainstorm, drainage from the street
fills up the space in front of the concrete wall, but not the
cellar behind the wall. The water does not soak into the clay
soil. Find the force the water causes on the foundation wall.
For comparison, the weight of the water is given by 2.40 m X
9.60 m x 0.183 m x1 000 kg/m x 9.80 m/s = 41.3 kN.
