Gate AB retains water as shown in the figure. The gate is supported every 2 m (perpendicular to the plane of view) by member BC, which is attached to a 2000 kg mass at point C. What minimum static coefficient of friction μs, along the contact surface between the mass and its base, is needed for the gatestructure to be in equilibrium? There are pins at pointsA, B, andC.
