A swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped (prism) \( a \mathrm{ft} \) long, \( b \mathrm{ft} \) wide, and \( c \mathrm{ft} \) deep. If the pool is full of water, what is the force due to water pressure on one long side of the pool? Assume \( a=50 \mathrm{ft}, b=17 \mathrm{ft}, c=2 \mathrm{ft} \). (Hint: The weight density of water is \( 62.5 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3} \).) (Use decimal notation. Give an exact answer.) \( F= \) lbs
