A gate with a mass of 45 kg is hinged at point A. The gate dimensions are a = 90 cm and b =  60 cm, and the angle between the horizontal is 45°. A counterweight of W is attached with a rod to  balance the gate, as shown in the figure. If the length of the balancing rod is 90 cm and the vertical  distance from point A to the free surface of the water is given as 30 cm, determine the required mass  of counterweight to keep the gate closed.
