The gate shown is 3.0 m wide (into the page), hinges around the bottom point, and for the purposes of this analysis can be considered massless. A weight is attached to the top point, and is threaded through a frictionless pulley. For what depth of water (d) will this rectangular gate be in equilibrium at an angle of 60o as shown?
Consider the slanted plate AB of length L in Fig. .( a ) Is the hydrostatic force F on the plate equal to theweight of the missing water above the plate? If not, correctthis hypothesis. Neglect the atmosphere. ( b ) Can a “missingwater” theory be generalized to curved surfaces of this type?

A car plunges into a lake during an accident and lands at the bottom of the lake on its wheels. The door is 1.2 m height and 1m wide and the edge of the door is 8 m below the free surface of the water. Determine the hydrostatic force on the door and the location of the pressure centre and discuss whether the driver can open the door.
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.
