The symmetric trough shown in Figure P2.32 is used to hold water. Along the
length of the trough, steel wires are attached to support the sides at distances w apart. Find
the magnitude of the resultant force exerted by the water on each side, and the magnitude
of the tension in the steel wire, neglecting the weight of the trough.
