3. The gate as shown is 3 m normal to the page. It keeps the two liquids from mixing with each other. The gate is hinged at its midpoint to provide enough closure between the oil and seawater. Assume the height of water is 9 m. Calculate the components of the hydrostatic force acting on the gate due to oil and their lines of action. b. Calculate the components of the hydrostatic force acting on the gate due to seawater and their lines of action. If a stopper were to be put behind one of the ends of the gate (A or B) to stop the gate from opening, where should the stopper be placed and what would be the amount of force it will be exerting? 12 m Oil SG=0.78
