A vertical wall is used to separate a reservoir of fresh water (? = 1000 kg/m3) from one containing sea water (? = 1030 kg/m3). If the depths of the fresh water and sea water are 2 m and 3.5 m, respectively, calculate the resultant force on the wall and the moment about the base of the wall (per unit width of wall).
