(a) Determine the magnitude (in lbs) and direction (R or L) of the horizontal component Fh of the hydrostatic force acting on the curved surface. Clearly drawn DIAGRAMS are required to get full credit.
(b) Determine the magnitude (in lbs) and direction (U or D) of the vertical component Fv of the hydrostatic force acting on the curved surface. Clearly drawn DIAGRAMS are required to get full credit.
(c) Determine the magnitude (in lbs) of the total hydrostatic force F acting on Curve AB.
(d) Determine the angle that the total force acting on the gate makes with the horizontal.
