A rectangular swimming pool is $25 \mathrm{ft}$ wide, $60 \mathrm{ft}$ long, and $4 \mathrm{ft}$ deep at the shallow end and $9 \mathrm{ft}$ deep at the deep end. Its bottom is an inclined plane. If the pool is completely filled with water, find the force exerted by the water on each side of the pool.
