One side of the container has a 03-m square door that is hinged at its top edge. If the container is filled with water, determine the smallest force F that must be applied to the bottom edge of the door to keep it closed.
EMERGENCY!!!! The cover in the figure is hinged at the center O and has a fixed width w = 5 m. The equation of the surface is x = y2 / a (a = 3 m), the depth of the water to the right of the lid (D = 4 m). If the weight of the lid is neglected, it is necessary to keep the lid in balance. Find the size of the force (Fa) required, as shown. Take the density of the water as 999 kg / m3.
The pressure at a point “m” in the figure shown was increased from 70 kPa to 105 kPa. This causedthe top level of mercury to move 20 cm in the sloping tube. What is the inclination, θ?
The semi-circular plate in Fig. Q3 is 4 m long and acts as a gate in a channel. Determinethe resultant force the water pressure exerts on the plate, and then find thecomponents of reaction at the hinge (pin) B and at the smooth support A. Neglect theweight of the plate.
A 4-m-long quarter-circular gate of radius 4 m and of negligible weight is hinged about its upper edge A, as shown in the figure. 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 (in N) required to keep the gate closed when the water level rises to A at the upper edge of the gate.
