A 4-m-long quarter-circular gate of radius 4 m and of negligible weight is hinged about its upper edge A, as shown in the figure. The gate controls the flow of water over the ledge at B, where the gate is pressed by a spring. Determine the minimum spring force (in N) required to keep the gate closed when the water level rises to A at the upper edge of the gate.

Question 2 In the schematic demonstrated in the figure, a spherical gate is used to regulate the height of water in a tank. The sphere radius is 50 cm and when the water height in the tank reaches 6 m, the gate opens by turning around hinge A. Determine the total hydrostatic force applied on the sphere and its angle of action at the moment that the gate is about to open. h=6 m R=50cm

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.

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).
