FREE WATER SURFACE
3- Find the total pressure and position of center of pressure
60
2.5
on a
triangular plate of base 2 m and height 3 m which is
h*
-2 m-
immersed in water in such a way that the plane of the plate
G
makes an angle of 60 with the free surface of the water.
The base of the plate is parallel to water surface and at a
depth of 2.5 m from water surface.
4- The 200 kg, 5 m wide rectangular gate shown in Figure
0.5 m
B.
is hinged at B and leans against the floor at A making an
Water

angle of 45° with the horizontal. The gate is to be opened
45
from its lower edge by applying a normal force at its center.
Determine the minimum force F required to open the water gate.
