A gate in a dam is 8 ft. high and 20 ft. long. If water is level with the top of the gate, what is the total force on the gate?
A gate on a dam is a triangle with 6ft wide and 5ft high. Find the force on the gate if the top is 2ft under the water.[Density: 62.4] 1. let x= distance to the top of the gate 2. let x=distance to the bottom of the gate
The upper edge of a gate in a dam runs along the water surface. The gate is 2.00 high and 4.00 wide and is hinged along a horizontal line through its center (thefigure ).
In the crest gate in a dam shown, surface AB forms the arc of a circle of 3 m radius subtending 5 at the hinge. The gate is 3 m long with water surface at B. Compute the amount and location of the horizontal and vertical components of the total hydrostatic force on AB. Determine also the amount and direction of their resultant. 2. 2 m 3

2. A dam 20 m long retains H = 7 m of water, as shown in figure below. Find the total resultant hydrostatic force (F) acting on the dam and the location of the center of pressure (hcp) if a is 60° 111
A hydroelectric power plant has a dam 100 ft high, and water can flow through the dam and water turbines at 1 million lbm per minute over a 60-ft drop. If the turbines can convert the loss in potential energy of the water into electric power at an efficiency of 70%, how much power can the facility produce in megawatts? (Note: 550 ft ·lbf/s = 1 hp = 0.746 kW)

The dam has water of depth 4 ft on one side. The width of the dam (the dimension into the page) is 8 ft. The weight density of the water is y = 62.4 lb/ft?, and atmospheric pressure Patm = 2120 lb/ft?. If you neglect the weight of the dam, what are the reactions at A and B? B T 2 ft 2 it 2 ft
When calculating the complete vector on the central section of
the dam wall, do you include the 8m for the radial gates? Also, how
do you calculate the length of the sides for the pressure prism of
the uplift? The face is 142 + 8, is the other side 142/sin57?
