Question 4 (7 Marks) Tank ABCDE (Figure 4.1) contains an oil of SG-0.82. The tank has a width (normal to page) of 25m. The tank has a plain gate CD that is hinged at C. It is required to: a) Determine the direction, magnitude (in ton) and inclineation of the resultant hydrostatic force on the circular surface DE; b) Determine the hydrostatic pressure force (direction, magnitude and point of action) on plain surface CD c) Determine the minimum force F...
QUESTION 2 (10 marks) A rectangular gate of width w = 2m, and length L - Xm, and of uniform thickness so that the centre of mass is located at the centroid, holds back a depth of water at 15°C as shown. The water surface is at the same height as the gate hinge. Find the minimum weight of the gate so that the gate remains closed. 8 = 30° L=4m Water Wm
A 6-m-hight, 4-m-wide rectangular gate is located at the end of an open freshwater tank. The gate is hinged at the top and held in place by a force F. The pressure is proportional to the depth of the water and the average pressure p_avg exerted on the gate by the water is: where deltap is the difference in pressure between the bottom of the gate (P_1) and the surface (p_0). The resulting force of the water on the gate...
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...
4. Consider the rectangular gates shown Figure 4. They are both the same size, but Gate A is held in place by a horizontal shaft through its midpoint and the other is cantilevered to a shaft at its top. Compute the torque (moment) required to hold the two gates closed. Comment on how the required torques change as H is increased Shaft Gate A Shaft Water Gate B H Water h pheric Atmospheric h pressure Atm pressure Figure 4
A closed rectangular tank 5m high, 3m in width and 6m in length is filled with 3.5m of water. If it is accelerated at 18m/s^2 determine the force experience at the both sides of the tank.
8 A rectangular gate is hinged at the water line , the dimension of gate 6mx5m wide. The specific gravity of water 9.81 kN/m3. find the force F to keep the gate closed (Non-anonymous question ) (10 Points) V hinge 6 m water F
Example: Find the forces required to hold the curved gate steady. Horizontal Force: vertical projection of the curved surface, find the force acting on that projection. Vertical Force: weight of water between the gate and the water-line Gate is 2 ft wide Atmospheric pressure Metal surface Vertical Projection Atmospheric pressure 4 ft 3 ft 1 ft Liquid Y=50 Ibt/ft
Q2/ This rectangular gate (3m high and 2m width) shown in Fig.2 below will open automatically when the depth of water (d) becomes large enough. What is the minimum depth that will cause the gate to open? d Pivot 3 mx 2 m) 1.35 m * 1.2 m
The rigid gate, OAB, in Figure is hinged at O and rests against a rigid support at B. What is the minimum horizontal force, P, is required to hold the gate closed if its width is 4 m? Neglect the weight of the gate and friction in the hinge The back of the gate is exposed to the atmosphere.
