A 5.0 m wide rectangular concrete canal with a bottom slope of So= 0.0016, conveys the flow discharge of Q= 19.0 m/s in the normal depth of y= 1.63 m. A sluice gate is designed in one section of this canal, if the water depth at downstream of gate is y2 =0.65 m, estimate the forces acting on the sluice gate. Sluice gate
