. A rectangular gate 1.20 m wide rests against a smooth wall at A. It is hinged at B located at 5.2 m. below the water surface. A is 2.92 m to the right of B and 2.2 m above B. (a) Compute the force on the gate due to sea water pressure (unit weight of sea water = 10 kN/m³) (b) Compute the horizontal force exerted by the wall at point A.

10 commonly used metals in marine engineering and their definitions?
Nonmechanical properties refer to characteristics of the material, other than load response, that affect selection, use, and performance. There are several types of properties that are of interest to engineers, but those of the greatest concern to civil engineers are density, thermal properties, and surface characteristics.
2) What is a -Newtonian Fluid? How can a shear stress in a fluid be defined for Newtonian Fluids. Explain using formula.
