Question: (10 pts) The 18-ft-long light weight gate in Figure 1 is a quarter circle and is hinged at H. Neglect friction at the hinge and the weight of the gate. Determine: • The gage pressure at point H (3 pts) • The absolute pressure at point H if atmospheric pressure patm = 101.3kPa. (3 pts) • The magnitude of the resultant force of the fluid pressure acting on the gate (4 pts)
