So I found the pressure for the water side of the door using the equation mentioned earlier. I then converted it to force using the equation F=PA. For the side with air, I converted 2 atm to lb f. I then used F=PA to convert this pressure to force. I'm currently getting a net force of 73829...

So I would need to use the Equation P=Pa+(specific gravity of water)*(h) ?

So how do I take the atmospheric pressure into account? What would this do to my calculations?

Homework Statement Determine the total force and its direction (left or right) due to water and air pressure in the surface shown in Fig. P3.62 (lb f). The door is hinged at the top and is 6 feet wide. See attached image.Homework Equations Fp (force of pressure) = specific weight of fluid *...
