A 4-m-long quarter-circular gate of radius 2 m and of negligible weight is hinged about its upper edge A. The gate controls the flow of water over the ledge at B, where the gate is pressed by a spring. Determine the minimum spring force required to keep the gate closed when the water level rises to A at the upper edge of the gate.
