A water gate is to be reinforced with three horizontal beams (running to the page). If the water acts on one side only to a depth of h=6m, find the positions of the beams measured from the water surface so that each beam will carry an equal load. Gate is fully covered by water.

1. Find the force supplied by the stop to keep the gate closed. The rectangular gate is 2.2 m long and 1.5 m wide (normal to the paper). The height ½ = 2.4 m and = 32°. Neglect the weight of the gate. Hint: Make sure you take moments at the hinge point. The 'stop' exerts a force normal to the plate towards the water. The net force due to water is normal to the plate. Water h₁ Hinge Gate Stop Atmospheric Pressure
