Question 1 A vertical circular gate in a tunnel 8 m. in diameter has oil (0.80) on one side and air on the other side. If oil is 12 m. above the invert and the air pressure is 40 kPa. (a) Compute the hydrostatic force in kN acting on the gate due to the effect of the oil. Question 2 (b) Using the same problem above. Compute the location in m of the hydrostatic force from the top of the gate. Question 3 (c) Using the same problem above. Where will single support be located to hold the gate in the position above the invert of the gate in m?
