A vertical lift gate 5 m x 2.5 m size weighing 0.5 tonnes slides along guides (coefficient of friction is 0.25) fitted on the side walls of an over flow spillway and its crest. What force will have to be exerted at the hoisting mechanism to lift the gate when the head of water over the crest is 2 m.
