(a) Sketch a free-body diagram of the gate labeling all critical dimensions, hydro-
static forces, and reactions acting on the gate.
(b) Compute the resultant pressure force acting on the gate expressed in terms of
the given variables.
(c) Determine the precise location where the resultant pressure force acts on the
gate measured relative to the gate's center of gravity.
