Quest-4
The top surface of a vertical rectangular gate, with 16 m width and 12 m height, and the
upper surface of height coincides with the free water surface. Find the depth of the
centre of pressure.
Q.2: In the figure shows a curved surface LM, which is in the
form of a quadrant of a circle of radius (2.4 m), immersed in the
water. If the width of the gate is unity, calculate the horizontal
and vertical components of the total force acting on the curved
surface.
