The L-shaped gate shown in the figure is designed such that when water reaches a certain design depth, h, it will automatically open by overturning clockwise. Counterclockwise rotation beyond the initial position is prevented by a stopper located at the end of the horizontal leg of the gate. The center of gravity of the gate is located a few centimeters to the right of O. Which of the following statements is FALSE? Water 1.5 m Select one: O a. At low values of depth, the gate may overturn due to the moment caused by the weight of the gate O b. The pressure distribution on the vertical side of the gate is trapezoidal O c. When the design depth, h, is reached, the gate will overturn due to the moment caused by hydrostatic force on the vertical side O d. The pressure distribution on the horizontal side of the gate is constant
