If the fluid on the left side of the gate has a density of 1,600 kg/m^3, the magnitude of the force F (kN) required to keep the gate closed is most nearly: 0 22 24 220 The mean pressure of the field acting on the gate i evaluated at the mean height, and the center of pressure...
The massless, 2-ft-wide gate shown in the figure below pivots about the frictionless hinge O. It is held in place by the 1950 lb counterweight, W. Determine the water depth, h.
A rectangular gate having a width of 4 ft is located in the sloping side of a tank as shown in the figure below. The gate is hinged along its top edge and is held in position by the force P. Friction at the hinge and the weight of the gate can be neglected. Determine the required value of P. Water 29 ft Hinge Gate 60° lb A rectangular gate having a width of 4 ft is located in the...
A 1-m-diameter cylindrical mass, M, is connected to a 2-m wide rectangular gate as shown in the figure. The gate is to open when the water level, h, drops below 2.0 m. Determine the required value for M. Neglect friction at the gate hinge and the pulley. 4m Water -1-m- diameter im
1. Old MacDonald had a farm, and on that farm he had a gate (see below). The gate is 3m wide and 1.8m high, with hinges attached to the top and bottom. The guy wire makes an angle of 30° with the top of the gate and is tightened by a turn buckle to a tension of 200 N. The mass of the gate is 32kg. 30.0° 1.80 m 3.00 m (a) Determine the horizontal force exerted on the gate...
Quiz: FLUD2005- Fluid Mechan Question 3 20 pts A 5m-wide rectangular gate as shown in the photo blocks a 7m-high water channel flowing into the Lichtenburg village. A side view, schematic diagram, of the system is inserted. The gate is hinged about a horizontal wooden beam placed across the channel. It is restrained from opening by a fixed concrete stopper, which applies a force of 850 KN to the gate. Determine the total height of the gate. [Use density of...
