Question
Figure 3 shows the plan view (top view) of a pair of gates which are hinged at the water channel walls.
The channel has a depth of 9 m and a width of 40 m. When the gates close, the gate edges are forced
together at the center of the channel by water pressure. While neglecting the weight of the gates
determine:
(a) The force exerted by the water on one gate
(b) The magnitude and direction of the force components exerted by the gate in part (a) on the hinge.
