The rectangular gate shown in Fig. Q.B1 is 2 m wide (perpendicular to the paper and is hinged about its upper edge B. The gate divides a salt-water (density 1030 kg/m³) tidal basin on the left from a channel on the right. Calculate the torque M on the shaft of the gate at B required to prevent the gate from opening when the channel on the right is empty as shown.
