Surface AB is a circular arc with a radius of 2 m and a width of 1 m into the paper. The distance EB is 4 m. The fluid above surface AB is water, and atmospheric pressure prevails on the free surface of the water and on the bottom side of surface AB. Find the magnitude and line of action of the hydrostatic force acting on surface AB.
A gate rotates at point A and releases water when the water's depth, d, exceeds a certain value. The gate's width (perpendicular to the image) is b = 2.95 ft, the water's depth is d = 4.82 ft, and point A is located at h = 2.41 ft.
a) What is F, the magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the gate by the water? The water's specific weight is γw=62.4lb/ft3.
b) What are Ax and Bx, the horizontal reaction forces at points A and B that act on the gate from Part A.
c) What is dmax, the water's maximum depth before the pressure causes the gate from part A to open?
