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.
Determine the hydrostatic force acting on the gate.
Determine the center of pressure.
Determine the mass of the weight W in order to keep the gate closed.

5000 kg A rectangular gate 5 m by 2 m is hinged at its based and inclined at 60° to the horizontal as shown in below figure. To keep the gate in a stable position, a counter weight of 5000 kgf is attached at the upper end of the gate as shown in the figure. (Note = Neglect the weight of the gate) Hence 1 kgf = 9.81 N a) Draw the free body diagram for the gate b) Draw...

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...
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...
