2. A lock is a device used for raising and lowering boats, ships and other watercraft between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways. Below is simplified model of a lock gate. A channel of 10 m deep and 34 m wide is enclosed by two gates A and B, which are hinged at the banks. If the gates are fully close and only the upstream side has water, determine the force exerted on the hinge of Gate A and its direction Water Gate A Gate B 15⁰ Empty 34 m
