A right triangle is submerged vertically with one side parallel to the surface in a liquid of density$\rho$. The triangle has a leg that is 16 m long located at the surface and a leg 16 m long straight down. Find the force exerted on the triangular surface, in terms of the density. Neglect the effect of the atmosphere above the liquid.
