Q7 (a). Figure 7a shows a gate holding 2-m depth water behind it. The gate is...
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....
2 6 h 2.. The gate shown in the figure below is used to hold back water in a channel. Given that h 6 m and that the gate has negligible weight, determine the magnitude and location of the horizontal and vertical components of the force due to the water on the gate, per meter of its length. (The density of the water is 1000 kg/m2)
3. The underwater gate is holding water from entering inside the channel with atmospheric pressure inside, so assume it is negligible. Outside is a fresh water with the density of 1000 kg/m'. At p.C is a pin holding the gate (two reactions!). There is a lock at p.A with horizontal reaction. The length of a gate is 8m (perpendicular to you). Determine: .1 The pressure on the BC and AB 3.2 Reactions at p.C and p.A. 3.3 Will the bolt...
3. The figure shows a spillway which is essentially a dam that holds back water until it reaches a certain depth, at which point the water "spills" over the top. You may assume the pressure is distributed hydrostatically at stations 1 and 2. You may also assume that the width of the spillway is constant everywhere. The density of water is 1000 kg/m2 Control Surface Streamline 5 m 0.7m V/2 (a) Find the velocities, Vi and Va. Note that you...

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...
