A channel is closed by a rectangular gate shown in the Figure below. The gate which is hinged at the red circle in the figure is 7 m high and 1 m wide. It has seawater to the left to a depth of 7 m above the baseline and on the right has freshwater to a depth of 9.5 m above the baseline. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m2, and density of freshwater is 1000 kg/m. Calculate the positive...
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
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...

4.68. Water is released under a gate in a 0.5-m-wide rectangular flume as shown in Figure 4.36. The water behind the gate has a depth of 2 m (at Section 1), and the gate is opened such that the depth of flow just downstream of the gate (at Section 2) is 12 cm. Find the height, h, of the step such that a hydraulic jump occurs at Section 2, and the flow is choked by the step. Estimate the rate...
QUESTION 7 a. A spillway is designed to control the overflow from a dam as shown in the figure below. The flow rate from the dam over the spillway is 2.9m's-1 per metre of width of the spillway. A hydraulic jump occurs downstream of the spillway. What will be the depth of the fluid y, downstream of the hydraulic jump? Assume that energy losses over the spillway can be neglected. 8 marks 5 m b. A sluice gate is fitted...
