The gate is pivoted on a shaft passing through its horizontal diameter. Show that the moment or torque on the shaft that is required to hold the disk vertical when the water level is above the top of the gate is independent of the water depth. Calculate the magnitude of this moment. Water $1.44m Pivot Shaft
