Consider the v-shaped water trough that is filled to the rim as shown in the figure Q2. The two side plates are symmetric (each side having a length of 1.5 m), make 30° with the horizontal ground, and are hinged to each other at the bottom. If the two plates are held together by cables and a turnbuckle, then find the tension in each cable. The width of the trough (into the paper) is 5m, and the mass of the two plates can be ignored.

A rectangular gate 1.4 m in base and 1.8 m high is placed on the face of the water reservoir, as shown in the figure. Its upper portion is hinged and the base is attached to a cylindrical buoy whose weight is 20 kg. The external diameter of the buoy is 2 m and the weight of the gate is 50 kg. The mechanism is such that the buoy will open the gate if water surface will rise higher than 4 m. What is the height of the buoy below the water surface?
A gate with a mass of 45 kg is hinged at point A. The gate dimensions are a = 90 cm and b = 60 cm, and the angle between the horizontal is 45°.
