3. The tank shown has a parabolic curve gate at the bottom right side of length h perpendicular to the paper. The parabola has a vertex at the center of the hinge A. The parabola is defined by the equation in the X-Y coordinate system as shown. Neglecting the weight of the gate and the vertical reaction at the bottom end B of the gate, show the following if the unit weight of the liquid is y. Liquid surface 27 (a) The location of the vertical component is 26 124 3 hinge Р h from the y axis is (b) The magnitude of the horizontal force P just to prevent the opening is yh³. 27 -h. 26
