seawater (SG = 1.03) 0.60 0.75 m
please answer with a neat solution and provide all answers
A curved surface is formed as a quarter of a circular cylinder with R = 0.75 m as shown. The surface is w = 3.55 m wide. Water stands to the right of the curved surface to depth H = 0.60 m.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the horizontal component of the hydrostatic force (in N) acting on the gate. Indicate the direction by putting an R for right and L for left after your numerical answer.
Determine the vertical component of the hydrostatic force (in N) acting on the gate, indicate the direction by putting an U for upward and D for downward after your numerical answer
