The sluice gate in the figure can control and measure flow in open channels. At sections 1 and 2, the flow is uniform and the pressure is hydrostatic. The channel width is b into the paper. Neglecting bottom friction, a.) Derive an expression for the force F required to hold the gate. b.) For what condition h₂/h₁ is the force largest? c.) For very low velocity V2 << gh₁, for what value of h₂/h, will the force be one - half of the maximum? ! Sluice gate, width b K2
