A penstock having a straight section shown in the figure is 4 ft wide and hinged at point C. The penstock weight is 18000 lbf and its center of gravity is 1.67 ft from the BC plane. Determine the resulting moment on the label when the water is 3 ft high from the bottom of the penstock (g = 10 m/s2).
