The gate is hinged at A and is of unit width into the plane of the page. Section AB of the gate corresponds to a circular quadrant of radius R centred at O. Section BC of the gate is vertical with a height of 2R. The height of the liquid in the canal is R. Neglect the weight of the gate and friction in the hinge. Some geometric properties of a rectangle and a circular quadrant are provided in Figure 2.2, where the symbols have their usual meanings. (i) Determine the magnitude and direction of the horizontal component of the hydrostatic pressure force exerted on the gate by the liquid in the canal.
