The 4 m diameter circular gate of shown in Figure 3 is located in the inclined wall of a large reservoir containing water (specific weight, Y= 9.80 kN/m³). The gate is mounted on a shaft along its horizontal diameter and the water depth is 10 m above the shaft. Given le for circular gate is Water level Angle 60° 10 m Stop Shaft Figure 3 a) Analyse the information given and determine the magnitude and location of the resultant force exerted on the gate by the water. b) Combine all forces involved on the circular gate and evaluate the moment that would have to be applied to the shaft to open the gate.

Question
Transcribed Image Text:The 4 m diameter circular gate of shown in Figure 3 is located in the inclined wall of a large
reservoir containing water (specific weight, y= 9.80 kN/m³). The gate is mounted on a shaft
along its horizontal diameter and the water depth is 10 m above the shaft. Given le for circular
gate is
Water level
Angle 600
10 m
Stop
Shaft
Figure 3
a) Analyse the information given and determine the magnitude and location of the resultant
force exerted on the gate by the water.
b) Combine all forces involved on the circular gate and evaluate the moment that would
have to be applied to the shaft to open the gate.
