Transcribed Image Text:1. Find the force supplied by the stop to keep the gate closed. The rectangular gate is 2.2 m long
and 1.5 m wide (normal to the paper). The height ½ = 2.4 m and = 32°. Neglect the weight
of the gate.
Hint: Make sure you take moments at the hinge point. The 'stop' exerts a force normal to the
plate towards the water. The net force due to water is normal to the plate.
