A water tank has a horizontal base of area 5.0 m25.0\text{ m}^25.0 m2 and is filled with water to a depth of 1.4 m1.4\text{ m}1.4 m.
The density of water is 1000 kg/m31000\text{ kg/m}^31000 kg/m3.
Taking the gravitational field strength g=9.8 N/kgg = 9.8\text{ N/kg}g=9.8 N/kg, what is the force exerted on the base of the tank due to the water?
