Hello! I have a task here, which I have done, but I do not see why my method is wrong.
The text is as follows:
A water tank is shaped like a pyramid standing on its head. Each side has a width of 5 meters at the top,
and the idea is 8 meters deep. Find the total force F against the four walls that occurs due to hydrostatic pressure
when the tank is full.
Assume that gravity g = 10 m/s2 and the mass density of water is 103 kg/m3.
What have I done?
I will attach a picture, as I could not find if it is possible to use Latex on here.
if you can not open the picture, then here is a screenshot of the picture:

The thing is that we are using a website called "Maple T.A", and whenever I submit this answer it appears to be wrong. I have also tried dividing that answer by 4, which would give 160000/3, but it is still wrong. That is why I believe what I have done is wrong.
Thank you so much for your time.
Have a great weekend!
