A freshwater harbour has a vertical dock gate 17.6m wide. The gate has water at a depth of 15m on its sea facing side and to a depth of 8m on the freshwater harbour side. Find the resultant force on the harbour gate. If the specific gravity for the sea water is: s.g 1.03 Density of water, ρ, is 1000kg/m3
