Problem 3. In a closed tank, a square gate 3m wide rests on a smooth floor at Y. The gate is inclined at 45° from the vertical and it is hinged at the wall of the tank at X located 1.80m below the liquid surface. The air above the oil surface is under a pressure of 7 kPa. If the gate weighs 5 kN, determine the following: a. total hydrostatic force "F" acting on the gate due to oil (SG=0.80) and b. the vertical force "Fv" at Y required to open it.
