Consider the wall of a dam to be straight with height H and length L. It holds a lake of water of height hh<H on one side. Let the density of water be ρw Denote the torque about the axis along the bottom length of the wall by τ1. Denote also a similar torque due to the water up to height h2 and wall length L2 by τ2. Then, τ1τ2 (ignore atmospheric pressure) is
