Sample-Problem-With-Surcharge

The document presents two problems involving calculations related to fluid mechanics and buoyancy. Problem 1 calculates the force exerted by a fluid with given parameters, resulting in a force of 159.25 kN/m. Problem 2 involves multiple calculations for forces above and below the water table, culminating in a total force of 794.536 kN/m and a depth of 3.98 m.
