A sector-shaped sluice gate having a radius of curvature of 5.4 m is as shown. The center of curvature C is 0.9m vertically below the lower edge A of the gate about which the gate is constructed to turn. If the water level is 2.4m above the lower edge of the gate В Water 2.4 m A 5.4 m radius 0.9 m |
