1 Gate AB is 2.0 m wide perpendicular to the paper and open to let fresh water out when the sea water tide is dropping. The hinge A is 0.60 m above the fresh water. At what sea water level h in meters will the gate start opening. Neglect the weight of the gate. Use unit weight of fresh water 9.80 kN/m^3. Write your answer to the nearest three decimal places. No need to write the unit meter. 0.60 m fresh water 3.0 m stopper B Dropping tide sea water (SG = 1.02) h
