A 6-m-hight, 4-m-wide rectangular gate is located at the end of an open freshwater tank. The gate is hinged at the top and held in place by a force F. The pressure is proportional to the depth of the water and the average pressure p_avg exerted on the gate by the water is: where deltap is the difference in pressure between the bottom of the gate (P_1) and the surface (p_0). The resulting force of the water on the gate...
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...
