A vertical cylindrical tank is filled with liquid fertilizer. The weight of the liquid exerts a pressure on the circular bottom of the tank.
The pressure of the liquid at the bottom of the tank is 24.0 kPa24.0\text{ kPa}24.0 kPa.
Calculate the total force, in kilonewtons (kN\text{kN}kN), exerted by the liquid on the bottom of the tank. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
