A 3-m diameter roller gate retains water on both sides of a dam crest as shown below. Axes (x,y) are given in the diagram to indicate the convention for positive values. The origin of your coordinate system (O) is at the base of the roller gate where it contacts the dam. Indicate direction of Forces either with an arrow, writing the direction (ie. Right/left or up/down) or +/- sign indicating what way is positive based on the axes definition given....

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? Question 2 A large concrete gravity dam, storing water, has a central drum gate and four (4) radial gates installed on its central spillway section to control releases from the...
Question 5 15 marks You should be able to answer this question after studying Unit 10 A crate, initially at rest, is pushed along a straight line up a rough ramp that makes an angle of 18° with the horizontal. The magnitude of the pushing force is 33 N, in a direction parallel to and up the ramp, and the acceleration of the crate is 0.16 ms-2. The coefficient of sliding friction between the crate and the ramp is 0.35....
uestion 6 20 marks You should be able to answer this question after studying Unit 5 A mountain rescue team is preparing to move a stretcher (with an injured climber) down a flat slope. The combined mass of the climber and stretcher is 110 kg, and the slope makes an angle of 15° with the horizontal. The stretcher is held at rest by a rope that makes an angle of 20° with the upward slope. The stretcher is on the...
