1. In the set-up shown, a rectangular gate, ABCD, is used to store layers of oil and water. The weight of the gate is 4 kN and the force exerted by the stopper on the gate is measured to be 80 kN. Sketch the pressure diagram on the rectangular gate. No need to put the expressions for pressures. Draw the free body diagram of the rectangular gate. Label all external forces. Calculate the moment done by the resultant hydrostatic force about the hinge. What is the pressure on the oil-water interface? Determine the weight of the block. Pressurized air Block 0.5 m ...... Oil, SG = 0.8 1 m ...... 0.8 m Water Hinge 1.2 SG = 1.26 2.4 m 130 degrees stopper 2 m
The total pressure force of a square plate is 25 kN, placed vertically in water so that the center of the plate is 1.5 m below the free surface. Determine the size of the plate and the depth of center of pressure. The above square plate is taken out of the water which weighs 370.5 N in air and 180.3 N in water of specific gravity 0.99. Find the volume and specific gravity of the square plate. Draw a neat sketch.
