Situation 1: A vertical rectangular gate as shown is 3 m wide and 6 m high is hinged at the top, has an gasoline (sg = 0.68) standing 9 m deep on one side the liquid surface being under a vacuum pressure of 19 kPa 9 m -19 kPa gasoline sg = 0.68 hinged stopper 19. Compute the hydrostatic force acting on the gate 20. How far is the force acting below the hinge 21. How much horizontal force applied at the bottom is needed to keep the gate closed?
