1. A vertical rectangular gate is 4 ft. wide and 6 ft. high. Its upper edge is horizontal and on the water surface. What is the total pressure on the gate and where is the center of pressure? 2. Solve Problem 1 if the water surfsce is 5 ft. above the top of the gate, other conditions remaining the same. 3. Solve Problem 2 if the plane of the gate makes an angle of 30° with the vertical, other conditions remaining unchanged.
