- 1. In the set-up shown, a rectangular gate, ABCD, is used to store layers of oil and water. The weight of the gate is 4 kN and the force exerted by the stopper on the gate is measured to be 80 kN. Sketch the pressure diagram on the rectangular gate. No need to put the expressions for pressures. Draw the free body diagram of the rectangular gate. Label all external forces. Calculate the moment done by the resultant hydrostatic force about the hinge. What is the pressure on the oil-water interface? Determine the weight of the block. Pressurized air Block 0.5 m ......

The goal is to measure the hydrostatic force acting on the flat side of the circular arc block and compare it to the theoretical value for a given depth h. The counterweight is arranged so that the pivot arm is horizontal when the block is not submerged, hence the weight W can be correlated with the hydrostatic force when the submerged arm is again brought to horizontal. Do the hydrostatic forces need to be taken into consideration if we take moments at the pivot? Explain.arrow_forward
