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.

Water flows through the elbow. It exits to the atmosphere at section 2. The inlet and exit pipe diameters are D,=10 cm and D2=3 cm, respectively. At a weight flow rate of 169,9 N/s. The elevation difference between the inlet and outlet sections is 25 cm. Neglecting the weight of water and elbow, estimate the force [N] on the flange bolts at section 1.

Do not attempt wrong. Find the total pressure and center of pressure of a gate constructed across a channel which is 5m wide at the top and 2m at the bottom and 3m deep stating that the channel is fully filled with water. Total pressure =132.39kN Center of pressure = 1.82m These answer should match your solution.
