Question

Transcribed Image Text:A 4m-long quarter-circular gate of radius 3 m and of negligible
weight is hinged about its upper edge A. The gage controls the
flow of water over the ledge at B, where the gate is pressed by a
spring. Determine the minimum spring force required to keep
the gate closed when the water level rises to A at the upper edge
of the gate.
