Problem 5: The water on the reservoir side of a dam has a depth of 220 meters (this would be typical of Hoover Dam in the weste rn U.S.). The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and the density of the water can be taken to be 1000 kg/m3. Find the following: A function that gives the absolute pressure in the water in the reservoir as function of the a. depth, y, below the surface. b. The sideways force per unit length of dam exerted by the water in the reservoir (i.e. Newtons/meter). Dam у 220m River
