Water in a channel is retained by a gate with 5 in. width (into the plane of the figure). The gate is supported by a pin at B and a vertical cable at A, and the contact between the gate and the bottom of the channel at A is frictionless. The vertical wall BC is fixed in position. Consider the gate's 40 lb weight WAB is uniformly distributed. 4 in. C B T WAB 8 in. 6 in. A NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Determine the cable force Trequired to begin opening the gate. (Round the final answer to four decimal places.) The cable force Trequired to begin opening the gate is lb.
