A large part of holland is below sea levelearthen dikes


A large part of Holland is below sea level.Earthen dikes keep the sea at bay. There's a Holland legend of aboy who uses his finger to plug a hole in the dike and saves thecountry side. Assume the center of the hole is located 3.0 metersbelow the sea level. The hole is the same size as the child’sfinger, a diameter of 1 cm. How much force would the child have to exert against the sea pressure in order to keep the sea at bay? Doyou think a child could do this? (density of seawater is1030kg/m3).
