Final answer:

The total force exerted on the board is 16,606 pounds.


Step-by-step explanation:

The total force exerted on the board can be calculated by multiplying the pressure per square inch by the area of the board.

Pressure = 19 pounds per square inch Area = 874 square inches

Total force = Pressure x Area = 19 pounds/in^2 x 874 in^2 = 16,606 pounds
