Use 62.4 Ib/ft as water's specific weight. Shown in the figure is a 12-feet wide rectangular swimming pool. If inclined BC makes an angle of 14.478° with the horizontal, determine the following: 3 ft 8 ft 20 ft the location of the centroid of the gate measured from the liquid surface in ft; the resultant force exerted by the water on bottom BC in Ib; the distance of the center of gravity of the gate from the liquid surface measured along the incline in ft; the eccentricity of the resultant force exerted by the water on bottom BC in ft; and the perpendicular distance of the resultant force from the centroid of the gate in ft. Note: Do not round off intermediate values. Answer in four decimal places and do not include units in your answers.
