A tank holds water (density of 995.7 kg/m3) with a triangular gate located at the bottom right. The gate is an isosceles triangle with a base/width of 0.7 m and a height of 1.4 m. What force (F) applied at the gate's centroid is needed to keep the gate closed? The height from the water surface to the gate centroid is given by h = 4.9 m. Please note that the side view of the gate is shown and that the force is applied at the gate's centroid, although not accurately drawn.
