Answer:

The force is
1237500N

Step-by-step explanation:

We can apply the following expression


pressure=(Force)/(Area)

To find the area of rectangular tent wall:


Area=length *width\\Area=2.00m*0.750m\\Area=1.5m^(2)

Now to find the force:


pressure=825,000pa


pressure=(Force)/(Area)


Force=pressure*Area\\Force=825000pa*1.5m^(2) \\Force=1237500N
