A cylindrical anchor with specific weight of 24 KN/cu.m. is submerged in salt water (SG = 1.03) and attached to a gate AC as shown. The gate is hinged at B and the tension wire is attached at C. The gate is inclined by 60o from the horizontal and has a length of 2.5m. To keep the system in equilibrium, determine the diameter of the cylindrical anchor if the height is twice the diameter.
