QUESTION 3 3.1 A gate in a channel is 3,25 m wide and 1,8 m deep. The gate is hinged at the top with two hinges and the lower point is kept closed with a bolt 2,2 m lower than the two hinges. The water surface is at the top of the gate. Calculate each of the following: 3.1.1 The load on the bolt and hinges in Newton 3.1.2 The hydrostatic force in Newton, if the gate is in a water reservoir where its centre is 15 m below the water surface?
