Transcribed Image Text:1. A vertical circular gate 3 m diameter is submerged in water with its top is 2m below the water surface.
Compute the total pressure and its location from the water surface ?
1. F = 242 kN
YR = 3.66 m from the water surface
2. The gate shown in figure below is triangular in shape whose base is 5 m. The vertex of the triangle is hinged
at point A, and rest against a smooth wall at B. Compute the total force acting on the gate due to sea water (y
= 10.10 kN/m³), also compute for the reaction at point A and B, neglect the weight of the gate.
