How does the water pressure vary with depth ?

Is the water pressure acting on the windows varying with depth ?

YES
 
I solve all of them except F and the professor said the final answer should be 11099.9N but I didn't get that

You mean you that think your answer to (a) is correct?

No, I use integration to solve them.

So please show us what you did using integration to solve F (so we can see where to help).
