In a tunnel, there is a vertical circular gate with 8 meters in diameter that is submerged in oil with specific gravity of 0.80 on one side and air on the other side. If oil is 12meters, and the air pressure is 40 kPa, determine the following: 1. The hydrostatic force acting on the gate due to the oil in kN 2. The location of the center of pressure from the water surface in mm. 3. Location of the hinge support to hold the gate in place in mm.
