A quarter-circular gate is being used to retain a water reservoir, Figure 3. The gate is hinged at point B with radius R = 8 ft, depth b = 10 ft into the page, and weight W = 3000 lbf. Compute the force F, applied at point A, that will keep the gate from opening. Figure 3. Quarter-Circular Gate for Question 5
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....
A homogeneous, 4-ft-wide, 8-ft-long rectangular gate weighing 800 lb is held in place by a horizontal flexible cable as shown in the figure. Water acts against the gate which is hinged at point A. Friction in the hinge is negligible. Determine the tension in the cable. A homogeneous, 4-ft-wide, 8-ft-long rectangular gate weighing 800 lb is held in place by a horizontal flexible cable as shown in the figure. Water acts against the gate which is hinged at point A....
Q2. (20 points) The gate shown below is 5 ft wide. It is hinged at point B and it rests against a smooth wall at A. The gate is rectangular. There is seawater acting on the gate with specific weight Yseawater = 64 lb/ft i. Draw a diagram for this question and show all forces acting on the gate with their locations ii. Find the force acting on the gate iii. Find the location of this force h iv. Find...
A sluice gate is useful in controlling the water flow out of a reservoir by allowing flow to pass under it. For a 6 ft deep reservoir and an 8 ft wide gate, estimate how high you would have to raise the gate to allow for 150 ft3/s outflow.
