A1) Floodgates, also known as stop gates, are adjustable gates that restrict the flow of water in flood barriers, reservoirs, rivers, and stream systems. Floodgates prevent river water from backing up into cities during high water levels. 5 m 60° B Figure 1: Floodgate As an aerospace engineer with a solid foundation in fluid mechanics, you would like to propose a temporary design solution to mitigate the damage or disruption of a nearby airport runway flood. The floodgate is 3 m wide and 5 m long, with a solid gate (AB) hinged at point B and restrained by a force-pulley mechanism at point A. The value of mass P is 2500 kg. Assume the density of water is 1000 kg/m³. a) Draw the free body diagram of the floodgates system. b) Calculate the depth of water assuming this rectangular gate is in equilibrium, ignoring the weight of the gate. c) Repeat the calculation as in (a), including the weight of the 5-cm-thick steel (SG = 7.8) gate.

Don't skip steps. Show the complete solution for this problem. A golden breast plate weighing 18.63 kg Is dropped in a tub that Initially contains water. After the breast plate was totally submerged. the water level rises by 61.87 cm. The tub has a diameter of 6 centimeters and the breast plate was said to be made only from gold and silver Compute for the percentage of each component of the breast plate if the density of gold Is 19.3 g/cubic centimeter and silver has a density of 10.49 g/cubic centimeter.
1. You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. In the design specifications given, if the actual measurement of power via the substation amounts to exactly 530kW and given that the windspeed is off by 0.05m/s, what could have been the error in the measurement of diameter? Your answer must be in 3 decimal places and in correct signs and measurement. Show complete solution in paper.
When a person ice skates, the surface of the ice actuallymelts beneath the blades, so that he or she skates on a thinsheet of water between the blade and the ice.( a ) Find an expression for total friction force on the bottomof the blade as a function of skater velocity V , bladelength L , water thickness (between the blade and theice) h , water viscosity μ , and blade width W .( b ) Suppose an ice skater of total mass m is skatingalong at a constant speed of V 0 when she suddenlystands stiff with her skates pointed directly forward,allowing herself to coast to a stop. Neglecting frictiondue to air resistance, how far will she travelbefore she comes to a stop? (Remember, she iscoasting on two skate blades.) Give your answer forthe total distance traveled, x , as a function of V 0 , m ,L , h , μ , and W .( c ) Find x for the case where V 0 = 4.0 m/s, m = 100 kg,L = 30 cm, W = 5.0 mm, and h = 0.10 mm. Do youthink our assumption of negligible air resistance is agood one?
A ship arrives at the mouth of a river in water of density 1016 kg per cu. m with a freeboard of ‘S’ m. She then discharges 150 tonnes of cargo, and proceeds up river to a second port, consuming 14 tonnes of bunkers. When she arrives at the second port the freeboard is again ‘S’ m, the density of the water being 1004 kg per cu. m. Find the ship’s displacement on arrival at the second port. Kindly ahow the step by step solution and careful with the units. Thank you!!!
