Determine the height of water h above the top of the circular 2 m diameter gate which will cause it to open. The gate is hinged at the top and is initially kept closed by the action of mass M (on the lever arm) which is 220kg. Ignore from consideration the weight of the gate and the self-weight of the lever arm
