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 rectangular gate that is 2m wide is located in the vertical wall of a tank containing water as shown in the figure at the right copied from the text. It’s desired to have the gate open automatically when the depth of the water above the top of the gate reaches 10m. Please answer the following: a) At what distance, d, should the frictionless horizontal shaft be located? b) What is the magnitude of the force on the gate when...
Q2: This question is about fluid statics... ........... (10 marks) The gate shown in the figure is 3m wide and for the analysis can be considered massless. For what depth of water d ty7will this rectangular gate be in equilibrium as shown? I= 643
Problem 2 The rectangular gate CAB, shown in cross section, is L=1.5 m high and w=2 m wide (into the page). The water has a depth of d=1 m on one side of the gate. The gate is pinned at A and is restrained by a smooth stopper at B that bears horizontally against the lower edge of the plate. The gate has a mass per area of m=27.18 kg/m² (already accounting for the thickness of the gate). Ignoring the...
a 3-m wide, 8-m high rectangular gate is located at the end of arectangular passage that is connected to a large open tankfilled with water. The gate is hinged at its bottom and heldclosed by a horizontal force, FH , located at the centerof the gate. The maximum value for FH is 3500kN. (a) Determine the maximum water depth, h, abovethe center of the gate that can exist without the gateopening. (b) Is the answer the same if the gate...
