The triangular gate shown is equilateral. Find the magnitude of the resultant force exerted by the water on the gate.
When calculating the value of the force exerted by the water on the window of the dam. Explain why if the pressure varies from the surface of the water, the lower limit for the integral is taken from depth "a" and not from zero? (it is convenient that you make diagrams to support your answer).
The large water truck pictured (4.8 foot diameter by 12 foot
long tank) releases water through a 3 inch diameter pipe. When
the water is at the level shown, determine the frictional force
the road needs to exert on the tires to keep the truck from
rolling (lbf) and indicate the direction using an arrow under the
truck. You may assume that the system is frictionless and the
tank is vented.
