1. A radial gate, 2 m long, hinged about a horizontal axis closes the rectangular sluice of a control dam by the application of a counterweight W. (a) Determine the total hydrostatic thrust and (b) its location on the gate when the storage depth is 4 m and (c) for the gate to be stable, the counterweight W. Explain what will happen if the storage increases beyond 4 m.

1.) Situation 11. A rectangular vertical gate, 0.60 m wide and 2.45 m high and weighing 1.78 kN, is hinged at the bottom. There is water on both sides of the gate, 4.9 m on one side and 1.80 m on the other. The gate, however, is held in place by a horizontal force F applied at the top of the gate. Under the above conditions, determine the horizontal force F and the amount and direction of the reaction at the hinge. Assume weight of water to be 9.81 kN/cu.m.

3. An opening gate was installed in an irrigated land drainage system automatic to avoid flooding, articulated in O and with an angle of 0 = 40° with the horizontal, as shown in the figure. The gate weighs W = 9.0 kN and has a height L = 1.7 m; width w = 1,8 m. a) If the height of water is equal to h = 0.65 m, determine the resulting force of water on the gate and the application point in relation to point O. b) To what height of water h will the gate open? That is, rotate in the anti-schedule. L h
An overflow spillway is 40 m high. Water flows down the spillway with a head of 2.5m over the spillway crest. The spillway discharge coefficient Ca = 0.738. Show that the water depth at the toe of the spillway would be 0.3 m. Determine the sequent depth required for the formation of the hydraulic jump and the loss of head in the jump.
