The 12-ft wide quarter-circular gate AB is hinged at A. Determine the contact force between the gate and the smooth surface at B due to water pressure acting on the gate. Use =62.4lb/ft3 for water.
The weight of the cylindrical tank is negligible in comparison to the weight of water it contains (water weighs 62.4lb/ft3). The coefficient of static friction between the tank and the horizontal surface is s. (a) Assuming a full tank, find the smallest force P required to tip the tank, and the smallest s that would allow tipping to take place. (b) If the force P = 200 lb initiates tipping, determine the depth of water in the tank.
The density of a floating body can be determined by tying weights to the body until both the body and the weights are completely submerged, and then weighing them separately in air.
