Gate AB is 1.0 m wide perpendicular to the paper and open to let fresh water out when the ocean tide is dropping. The hinge A is 0.60 m above the fresh water. Determine the hydrostatic force in kN exerted by the water upon the gate AB. Neglect the weight of the gate. Use unit weight of water 9.80 kN/m3. Write your answer to the nearest one decimal places
