What is the resultant hydrostatic force on the gate?
What is the distance of the line of action (or the center of
pressure) of the resultant hydrostatic from the shaft?
If the weight of the gate is assumed negligible, what is the
magnitude of the force
based on problem 2.49 in text A semicircular gate is installed in the side of water storage reservoir that is at angle of 0=60 reservoir. The depth of water in the tank is H...
CVE 3303F) /Page 3 of 6 b) A quadrant of a circle sluice gate (as shown in Figure Q2 (b) with radius 1.5 m pivoted as its centre O (G centre of gravity). When the water is level with the pivot O Calculate the magnitude and dircction of the resultant force on the gate, due to the water and the running moment required to open the gate. The width of the gate is 3 m and it has a mass...
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.

KHomework Set 9 Pressure on a Dam As the reservoir behind a dam is filled with water, the pressure that the water exerts on the dam increases Eventually, the force on the dam becomes substantial and it could cause the dam to collapse. There are two significant issues to be considered: First, the base of the dam should be able to withstand the pressure pgh , where p is the density of the water behind the danm h is its...
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 submarine has a shape of a round cylinder with radius R and length h. It is fully submerged such that its axis is horizontal at depth d (and d > R). Find the total force of water pressure acting on the front of the submarine.
Problem 4. A water reservoir is open at the top, and has radius r 50 ft and wall thickness t 10 in. what height h of the water will produce a circumferential (hoop) stress of 700 psi in the wall of the reservoir? What is the longitudinal (i.e. axial) stress in the wall due to the water? HINT: Water has a weight density of 62 lb/ft3 (so the pressure is caused by the weight of water), and the reservoir is...
The figure Tank3png shows a water tank where a wall is a vertical flat-plate that is composed of two rectangular faces of areas Ai and A2 with widths w 1.0 m, W2 2.0 m respectively, and one semicircular face of area A3, with radius R 0.5 m. The dimensions h 1.0 m, h2- 1.0 m, as shown in the figure. The density of water, p -103kg/m3, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s The figure 4 shows a water...
