Dams at two different locations are needed to form a lake. When the lake is filled, the water level will be at top of both dams. The second dam is twice as high and twice as wide as the first dam. The force of the water on the second dam is how much greater than the force on the first? (Ignore atmospheric pressure since it is pushing on both sides of the dams.)
