Answer

$F=2.11\times 10^8N$

Work Step by Step

We can find the total force as follows: $F=2\pi R\int^{h}_{0}F_{\circ}ydy$......eq(1) As $F_{\circ} y=\rho gy$ Thus, eq(1) becomes $F=2\pi R\rho g\int^{h}_{0} ydy$ $\implies F=2\pi R\rho g\frac{h^2}{2}$ $\implies F=2\pi D \rho gh^2$ ($D=\frac{R}{2}$) This simplifies to: $F=\frac{\pi}{2}D\rho gh^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $F=\frac{\pi}{2}(27.4)(1600)(9.80)(17.7)^2$ This simplifies to: $F=2.11\times 10^8N$
