A uniform 6-m high, 10-m wide (into the page) rectangular gate is hinged at Point A. The right side of the gate is exposed to the atmosphere while the left side is partially covered by 2 different fluids (oil as top layer and water as bottom layer). The free surface of the oil is 1 m below the hinge at Point A. The oil layer (SG = 0.8) is 2-m thick while the water layer is 3-m thick. Assuming the density of water to be 3 1,000 kg/m , determine the total turning moment about the hinge at Point A due to oil and water, in kN-m (with correct direction).

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...
