A gate of size 2 m x 1 m can slide without friction. It is held in place by a thin cable which pulls it to the left due to buoyancy on a balloon of diameter D and of negligible weight. The gate just opens when the level of water is as shown in the figure below. Obtain D. Where should the cable be attached, so that the gate slides smoothly [i.e. without rotation] inside the channel?
