3. The rectangular gate shown in section is 3 m long (perpendicular to the paper) and is hinged about its upper edge B. The gate divides a channel leading to a fresh-water lake on the left and a salt-water tidal basin on the right. Calculate the moment, M, on the shaft of the gate at B required to prevent the gate from opening when the salt-water level drops to h = 1m. Take the density of salt water 1,050 kg/m³.
