An equilateral triangular plate with sides 12 m is submerged vertically in a liquid of density 865 kg/m³ so that the base is even with the surface. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use 9.8 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity.) Show all steps clearly.
