A square plate is suspended vertically from one of its edges using a hinge support as shown in figure. A water jet of 20 mm diameter having a velocity of 10 m/s strikes the plate at its midpoint, at an angle of 30° with the

A rectangular plate 1 m wide by 2 m long is immersed in water of density 1000 kg/m3.  The shorter side is parallel to the water surface and 0.5 m below it. The longer side is inclined at 60o to the vertical. Calculate the magnitude, direction and location of the force acting on one side of the plate due to water pressure. A bridge across a river has an elevation as shown. When the river is in flood, the upstream water surface is level with the road surface and the downstream level is 5 m below it. Assuming the pressure distribution to be hydrostatic, calculate a) the horizontal thrust upon the bridge and b) the overturning moment acting upon it.                       Determine the force due to hydrostatic pressure, acting on the hinge of the gate. The rectangular gate AB is 3.05 m x 1.22 m in dimension and its pin connected at the point B. If the surface on which the gate rests at A is frictionless, what is the reaction at A?   A vertical gate 20m x 5m is hinged in a stream as…

A gate having triangular shape shown in figure 7 is located in the vertical side of an open tank. The gate is hinged about the horizontal axis AB. Determine the moment exerted by the force of the water on the gate about the axis AB.
