The shown figure represents a tank filled with water and closed at its top with gate AB and connected with a manometer at its bottom. The gate can be rotated about the hinge at A. Compute the minimum height (y). of mercury_(Hg) in the manometer that is required to cause the gate just starts to open. Assume: Specific gravity of Hg=13.6, Mass density of the gate= 2500 kg/m³. Material of the gate is homogenous. Gate width is 1.0 m, and gate thickness is 2.0 cm. Hinge. LA ↑1000 N.m r=0.5m water B Hg 0.25m 0.25m 0.5m
