A water gate is shown below. The gate is hinged at the top (point A) and held in place with a stop at the bottom. The weight W is designed to counteract the hydrostatic force acting on the gate. The gate is 4 m high and 2 m wide. The water depth d = 5m. Answer the questions below, using a water density of 1000 kg/m3, and g = 9.81 m/s2. Calculate the average hydrostatic pressure acting on the gate....
INSTRUCTOR: hin Question 1 A wall is placed inside a container as shown in the Figure below. There is water above the wall and air at atmospheric pressure below. The wall is subdivided into 3 segments: 2 straight segments of length L -2m each, and one semi-circular segment with a radius of r Im. The total length of the dashed line A-B is thus 6m. a. b. c. What is the magnitude of the resultant force due to pressure acting...

A 3-m diameter roller gate retains water on both sides of a dam crest as shown below. Axes (x,y) are given in the diagram to indicate the convention for positive values. The origin of your coordinate system (O) is at the base of the roller gate where it contacts the dam. Indicate direction of Forces either with an arrow, writing the direction (ie. Right/left or up/down) or +/- sign indicating what way is positive based on the axes definition given....
