The 5 m long composite gate (Figure 1(a)) has a 4 m high vertical plane surface hinged at point A. At point B, the gate has a hemispherical surface that has a diameter of 6 m. Water is levelled with the top of the vertical portion of the gate, as shown. Compute for the total horizontal and vertical hydrostatic forces experienced by the composite gate. Determine the location of the line of action of all forces in reference to point A. What should be the horizontal force that is acting to the right at point C to keep the gate from opening due to hydrostatic?
