1.) Situation 11. A rectangular vertical gate, 0.60 m wide and 2.45 m high and weighing 1.78 kN, is hinged at the bottom. There is water on both sides of the gate, 4.9 m on one side and 1.80 m on the other. The gate, however, is held in place by a horizontal force F applied at the top of the gate. Under the above conditions, determine the horizontal force F and the amount and direction of the reaction at the hinge. Assume weight of water to be 9.81 kN/cu.m.

For the dam given in the figure, compute for the total horizontal load, total vertical load, the factors of safety against sliding and overturning, the resultant of the forces, its location, and the total moment at the toe. coefficient of friction is 1.5, unit weight ng concrete is 2400 kg/m^3.
Complete solution, please. Thanks!
The height of the reinforced concrete water dam in the figure is L width a. The unit weight of the body of the dam Su gola Betogarme su bendi is y=24 kN/m'. Since the height of the water lake is h and the lateral water thrust to the body is H=5h? kN/m, determine the maximum water height (hmax) to avoid 4. tensile stress at the base of the dam. (L=15m, a=7m) Note: Calculate for unit height (taking 1 m),
