Chapter 4, Problem 4.42PP
figure 4.46 shows a tank of water with a circular pipe connected to its bottom. A circular gate seals the pipe opening to prohibit flow. To drain the tank, a winch is used to pull the gate open. Compute the amount of force that the winch cable must exert to open the gate.

A vertical cylindrical tank (1m in diameter and 4m Height) open at the top end is full of water. If you tilt the tank so that the base makes an angle of 30 degrees with the ground, water over flows. Find the resulting pressure at the base of the tank due to the remaining water when it was returned to its upright position in Pascal (gage)
Task 1:A dam is used to store water, and a rectangular gate which is hinged at its bottom edge is usedto control the flow as shown in figure 1. For this gate, width = 1 m (in the direction of the page), α = 65°, h1 = 1 m, and h2 = 5 m.
a. Describe the forces acting on the gate and the center of pressure.b. Determine the resultant force and the position of the center of pressure on the gate.c. What is the maximum gate mass that is needed for it not to fall?d. Show yc, yR, hc, hR, FR, and W on the free body diagram.
The opening at point C is inclined at 45 degrees. Find the maximum height that the water can reach, measured from the datum line. Also, calculate the range.
