5. A circular gate 2 m in diameter has water on one side and is inclined 45 degrees with the horizontal. Water is 1.50 m above the top of the gate. (a) Draw the free-body diagram of the gate. (b) Compute the force acting on the gate in kN and its location (i.e. from the center of gravity to the center of pressure) in meters. (c) Also, if the top of the gate is a hinge, what force in kN perpendicular to the gate is needed to open the gate at the bottom (i.e. intersection of the gate and river bed)?

1. ATectangular plate 1 m wide by 2 m long is immersed in water of density 1000 kg/m3. The shorter side is parallel to the water surface and 0.5 m below it. The longer side is inclined at 60° to the vertical. Calculate the magnitude, direction and location of the force acting on one side of the plate due to water pressure.
