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.
A 6-m-high, 5-m-wide rectangular plate blocks the end of a 5-m-deep freshwater channel, as shown . The plate is hinged about a horizontal axis along its upper edge through a point A and is restrained from opening by a fixed ridge at point B. Using appropriate software, investigate the effect of water depth on the force exerted on the plate by the ridge. Let the water depth vary from 0 to 5 m in increments of 0.5 m. Tabulate and plot your results.
A rectangular car is 3 m. long by 1.5 m wide and 1.5 m deep. If friction is neglected and the car rolls down a plane with an inclination of 20 degrees, what is the inclination of the water surface if the car contained 0.60 m depth of water when the car was horizontal?

A vertical sliding gate is being submerged in a 10 meter water. The gate is 5m wide and 9 m high and weighs 50 kN. What vertical force is needed to just lift this gate considering that the Coefficient of friction between the guides and edges is 0.25 (Neglect Buoyant Force) Ans: 657 kN
A triangular gate having horizontal base of 1.0m and an altitude of 1.5m is inclined 45° from the vertical with the vertex pointing upward. The vertex of the gate is 2.4m vertically below the surface of the water. What normal force , in KN, must be applied at the vertex of the gate to open it's hinged at the base?
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.
