Question

Transcribed Image Text:Unless otherwise stated, take the density of water to
be p. = 1000 kg/m and its specific weight to be
Y. = 62.4 lb/ft’. Also, assume all pressures are gage pressures
unless stated otherwise.
2-65. The uniform plate, which is hinged at C, is used to
control the level of the water at A to maintain its constant
2m
depth of 6 m. If the plate has a width of 1.5 m and a mass of
30 Mg, determine the required minimum height h of the
water at B so that seepage will not occur at D.
