Question

As shown, a gate has a parabolic shape that follows the equation y=C?32x2, where C = 6.00ft . (Figure 2) The top of the gate is d = 2.10ft beneath the water's surface. What is FR, the magnitude of the force exerted on the gate by the water? The gate's width (perpendicular to the image) is b = 6.50ft and the water's specific weight is ?w = 62.4lb/ft3 .
