The dam on a lake is designed to withstand the additional force produced by the

sediment found at the bottom of the lake. Assuming that the density of the sediment is

equivalent to that of a liquid with density ps $=1\mathrm{.}76$x$10^3$ kg$/$m$^3$ and considering that the width of the

dam is $1$ m$,$ determine the percentage increase in the force acting on the face of the dam.
