Question
A gate rotates at point A and releases water when the water's depth, d, exceeds a certain value. The gate's width (perpendicular to the image) is b = 2.95 ft, the water's depth is d = 4.82 ft, and point A is located at h = 2.41 ft.
a) What is F, the magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the gate by the water? The water's specific weight is γw=62.4lb/ft3.
b) What are Ax and Bx, the horizontal reaction forces at points A and B that act on the gate from Part A.
c) What is dmax, the water's maximum depth before the pressure causes the gate from part A to open?
