A trough has a trapezoidal cross section. The vertical side is 3 m in height. There are two horizontal sides perpendicular to the vertical side, with the larger horizontal side being at the top and 2 m long, and the shorter side at the bottom is 1 m long. The width of the trough is 4 m.

(a)

Find the hydrostatic force (in N) on one end of the trough if it is completely full of oil.

(b)

Compute the force (in N) on one end if the trough is filled to a depth of 1.8 m. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
