Explanation Calculation: Sketch the trapezoidal section as shown in Figure 1. Find the hydrostatic force using the formula. R = γ y ¯ A Find the location of point of application of resultant force using the formula: y P = I S S ′ y ¯ A Here, R is the resultant of the hydrostatic forces acting on the gate and y P is the depth to the point of application of R . Find the centroid y ¯ A using the relation: Refer to Figure 1. y ¯ A = ∑ y ¯ A = [ h + 0.17 ] ( 1 2 × 1.2 × 0.51 ) + [ h + 0.34 ] ( 1 2 × 0.84 × 0.51 ) = [ h + 0.17 ] ( 0.306 ) + [ h + 0.34 ] ( 0.2142 ) = 0.306 h + 0.05202 + 0.2142 h + 0.0728 = ( 0.5202 h + 0.12484 ) m 3 Find the resultant force ( R ) acting on the gate using the relation: R = γ y ¯ A = p y ( y ¯ A ) (1) Substitute 10 3 kg / m 3 for p , 9.81 m / s 2 for y , and ( 0.5202 h + 0.12484 ) m 3 for y ¯ A in Equation (1). R = 10 3 ( 9.81 ) ( 0.5202 h + 0.12484 ) = 5 , 103.162 ( h + 0.24 ) N Find the moment of inertia ( I S S ′ ) 1 using the relation as shown below: ( I S S ′ ) 1 = I x + A d 2 = b h 3 36 + ( 1 2 b h ) d 2 (2) Here, b is the width of the trapezoidal section, d is vertical distance from the centroid of the segment to the neutral axis, and h is the height of the trapezoidal section. Substitute 1.2 m for b , 0.51 m for h , and ( h + 0.17 ) m for d in Equation (2). ( I S S ′ ) 1 = 1.2 × 0.51 3 36 + ( 1 2 × 1.2 × 0.51 ) ( h + 0.17 ) 2 = 0.0044217 + 0.306 ( h 2 + 0.0289 + 0.33 h ) = 0.306 h 2 + 0.10404 h + 0.013265 = ( 0.306 h 2 + 0.10404 h + 0.013265 ) m 4 Find the moment of inertia ( I S S ′ ) 2 using the relation as shown below: ( I S S ′ ) 2 = I ¯ x 2 + A d 2 = b h 3 36 + ( 1 2 b h ) d 2 (3) Substitute 0.84 m for b , 0.51 m for h , and ( h + 0.34 ) m for d in Equation (3). ( I S S ′ ) 2 = 0.84 × 0.51 3 36 + ( 1 2 × 0

Slope and Deflection

The slope in a deflected beam is described as an angle in radians made by the tangent of the section with the original axis of the beam. The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is defined as the lateral displacement of the point before and af…
