Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 53P
The circular access port in the side of a water standpipe has a diameter of 0.6 m and is held in place by eight bolts evenly spaced around the circumference. If the standpipe diameter is 7 m and the center of the port is located 12 m below the free surface of the water, determine (a) the total force on the port and (b) the appropriate bolt diameter.

The water-gate articulated in point B and inclined at an alfa angle to the horizontal retains an H level of water. The gate is blocked by a cable which is anchored in the lower part of the dam. It is required to determine the force necessary to open the gate. The width of the water gate is 1 m.
The face of a dam adjacent to the water has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid of altitude 20 m, upper base 50 m, and lower base 40 m. Find the total force exerted by the water on the dam when the water is 15 m deep.
A wood-stave penstock of 1.8 m diameter is wrapped with steel hoops and subjected to a fluid pressure of 380 KPa. If the allowable tension in the hoop is 42.4 kN, what is the maximum hoop spacing?
