Example: Figure shows-a rectangular sluice gate AB, 3 m wide and 4.5-m-long hinged at- A. It is kept elosed by a weight fixed-to the gate. The total weight of the gate and weight fixed to the gate is 515 kN. The center of gravity of the weight and gate is at G. Find the height of the water h which will first cause the gate to open.

PLEASE WRITE LEGIBLY, COMPLETE SOLUTIONS WITH DRAWING. THANK YOU!! A rectangular block of a material with a modulus of rigidity of 87 ksi is bonded to two rigid horizontal plates. The lower plate is fixed, while the upper plate is subjected to a horizontal force P. Knowing that the upper plate moves through 0.04 in. under the action of the force, determine (a) the shearing strain in the material, (b) the force P exerted on the upper plate.
For the 2d coordinate system below, complete the following: a) Break up the force vector into Fx and Fy components; show these components on the figure. Add a superscript to each component to indicate whether they are acting in the positive (+) or negative (-) direction b) Draw a position vector from the origin (0) to the tail (point a) of the force vector c) Break up the position vector into rx and ry components; show these components on the figure Add a superscript to each component to indicate whether they are acting in the positive (+) or negative (-) direction d) Calculate the "moment" of force F about the origin by multiplying F times its perpendicular distance from the origin (ry), and add the product of Fy times its perpendicular distance from the origin (rx). Assume that a counterclockwise rotation about the origin is a "positive" moment. Think of rx as a string connected to the origin. If you pull the string in the direction of d, will that cause a clockwise (-) or…
