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.
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.
Determine the magnitude of the force on the inclined gate 1.5m by 0.5m shown in the figure. The tank of water is completely closed and the pressure gage at the bottom of the tank reads 90,000 N/m2. Use 9800 N/cubic meter for water? Ans: 48022.5N
Gate AB is 1.5 m wide into the paper and opens to let fresh water out when the ocean tide is dropping as shown in the Figure Q1. The hinge at A is 0.6 m above the freshwater level.
