The water in a 25-m-deep reservoir is kept inside by a 150-m-wide wall whose cross section is an equilateral triangle, as shown in Fig. P10-45. Determine (a) the total force (hydrostatic + atmospheric) acting on the inner surface of the wall and its line of action and (b) the magnitude of the horizontal component of this force. Take Patm = 100 kPa.
