A gate in the form of a partial cylindrical surface 1called a Tainter gate2 holds back wateron top of a dam as shown in Fig. P2.12R. The radius of the surface is 22 ft, and its length is 36 ft. The gate can pivot about point A, and the pivot point is 10 ft above the seat, C. Determine the magnitude of the resultant water force on the gate. Will the resultant pass through the pivot?
