Hydrostatic force on submerged dam

A mass concrete dam has the section shown below and spans a channel 200 m wide. Estimate the magnitude of the horizontal component of the hydrostatic pressure forces and the distance it is acting from point O; the magnitude of the vertical component of the hydrostatic pressure forces and the distance it is acting from point O; the magnitude of the resultant force and its angle to the horizontal; the horizontal distance between point O and the intersection point of the resultant force and the horizontal line O-A; Sketch the forces diagram.
