A gate in an irrigation canal is constructed in the form of a trapezoid 10 m wide at the bottom, 34 m wide at the top, and 2 m high. It is placed vertically in the canal so that the water just covers the gate. Find the hydrostatic force on one side of the gate. Note that your answer should be in Newtons, and use g = 9.8 m/s2.

Kevin has a spinner that has 10 equal sections and 2 sections of each color—red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. kevin spins the spinner 180 times. kevin determines about how many times the spinner will land on red or green, and his work is shown below. -kevin has the formula reversed; it should be the total number of sections over the number of red or green sections. -kevin should have used a 4 in the numerator because there are 2 red sections and 2 green sections. -kevin should multiply by the number of sections in the spinner rather than the total number of spins. -kevin calculated the prediction correctly and did not make any mistakes.
