A large water trough is 17 m long and has ends shaped like inverted isosceles triangles, with a base of 13 m and height of 10 m. Water density is 1000 kg/m^3 and acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Find the force on one end of the tank if the trough is filled to a point 2 m below the edge. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest Newton.
