A 4-ft by 3-ft massless rectangular gate is used to close the end of the water tank shown in the figure below. A 200-lb weight attached to the arm of the gate at a distance from the frictionless hinge is just sufficient to keep the gate closed when the water depth is 2 ft, that is, when the water fills the semicircular lower portion of the tank. If the water were deeper, the gate would open. Determine the distance & in feet. Hinge Hinge

The total pressure force of a square plate is 25 kN, placed vertically in water so that the center of the plate is 1.5 m below the free surface. Determine the size of the plate and the depth of center of pressure. The above square plate is taken out of the water which weighs 370.5 N in air and 180.3 N in water of specific gravity 0.99. Find the volume and specific gravity of the square plate. Draw a neat sketch.
Determine the height of water h above the top of the circular 2 m diameter gate which will cause it to open. The gate is hinged at the top and is initially kept closed by the action of mass M (on the lever arm) which is 220kg. Ignore from consideration the weight of the gate and the self-weight of the lever arm.
The figure shows vessel which contains water with air pressure P above of its surface as illustrated below. What is the resultant force exerted on the gate if (a) P= Po=101 kpa, (b) P=125 kpa.
A person wearing long snowshoes can walk across a blanket of freshly fallen snow without sinking far into the snow because (p.s. Google snowshoe if you don't know how one looks like) snowshoes cover a larger area than a foot and so the pressure is reduced. the snowshoes reduce the force of the person on the snow. the large area of the snowshoe concentrates the force of the person to a point smaller than the foot. snowshoes push less dense snow out of the way so the person stands on more solid ice below
at the bottom of a container, which forms an angle A with the horizontal, is a cube of edge a, as shown in the figure, made of a material of density p. Determine the force with which the cube presses on the bottom, if a liquid of density p0 is poured into the container. The top edge of the cube is h from the surface of the liquid. There is no liquid between the bottom of the container and the cube. The atmospheric pressure is P and the acceleration of gravity g (neglect the thrust).
Find the force of oil on the top surface CD of the figure below if the liquid level in the open pipe is reduced by 4.0 ft.
The flow of water from a container is controlled by a 5-ft-wide L-shaped gate hinged at point A, as shown in the figure. If it is desired that the gate open when the height of the water is 10 ft, determine the weight W of the counterweight to achieve this. Take d= 5 ft and H = 16 ft. Give your answer in lb and without decimals.
Three vertical columns, A with constant circular cross section, B with tapered circular cross section and the narrow end below, and C with tapered circular cross section and the broader end below, are sitting half-submerged in water on an impermeable floor. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct if the volume of water displaced by each column is identical? (i) The up thrust for each column due to hydrostatic pressure is identical according to Archimedes principle. The up thrust due to hydrostatic pressure is highest for column B. The up thrust due to hydrostatic pressure for column C is negative. (i) (ii) (A) (B) (C) The Bernoulli equation requires the flow to be inviscid and along a streamline. However Bernoulli equation can be used to measure the velocity at a point in viscous boundary layer or pipe flow. The reasons for such applicability are: The stagnation pressure along a streamline is constant. The static pressure along a streamline over a short distance is…
