A circular gate 1.2 m in diameter is inclined at an angle 30 deg. Sea water stands on one side of the gate to a height of 8 m above the center of the gate. (SG Seawater = 1.026). 1. Evaluate the total force on the gate, in kN. 2. Locate the point of action of the total force from the top of the gate in meter(s). 3. If the gate is hinged at the top, evaluate the force normal to the gate at the bottom that will be required to open it, in kN.
