Figure shows the side view of a tank with a curved gate. The gate width into the page is 24 in. The tank contains glycerin (SG=1.26) and is filled to a depth of 32 in. (a) Determine the magnitude (in lb) and direction (R or L) of the horizontal component of the force acting on the curved gate. (b) Determine the magnitude (in lb) and direction (U or D) of the total vertical component of the force acting on the curved gate. (c)Determine the magnitude of the total force (in kN) acting on the gate. (d)Determine the angle that the total force acting on the gate makes with the horizontal.
