Two square gates close two openings in a conduit connected to an open tank of water as shown in Fig. P2.34. When the water depth, h, reaches 5 m it is desired thatboth gates open at the same time. Determine the weight of the homogeneous horizontal gate and the horizontal force, R, acting on the vertical gate that is requiredto keep the gates closed until this depth is reached. The weight of the vertical gate is negligible, and both gates are hinged at one end as shown. Friction in thehinges is negligible.
A homogeneous, 4-ft-wide, 16-ft-long rectangular gate weighing
1000 lb is held in place by a horizontal flexible cable as shown in
the Fig. P2.87. Water acts against the gate which is hinged at
point A. Friction in the hinge is negligible. Determine the
tension in the cable.

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...
