2. A lock is a device used for raising and lowering boats, ships and other watercraft between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways. Below is simplified model of a lock gate. A channel of 10 m deep and 34 m wide is enclosed by two gates A and B, which are hinged at the banks. If the gates are fully close and only the upstream side has water, determine the force exerted on the hinge of Gate A and its direction

The end gates of a lock are 5 m high and when closed include an angle of 120°. The width of the lock is 6.25 m. Each gate is carried on two hinges placed at the top and the bottom of the gate. If the water levels are 4 m and 2 m on the upstream and downstream sides respectively, determine the magnitudes of the forces on the hinges due to the water pressure, [Take : Y, = 9819 N/m³]

Questions A stream is spanned by a bridge which is a single masonry arch in the form of a parabolic arch, the crown being 2.5 metre above the springing which are 9 meters apart. The overall width of the bridge is 6 metres. During a flood the stream rises to a level 2 metres measured in the direction of the stream above the springings. Calculate the force tending to lift the bridge from its foundations if the arch remains water tight.
1. In the upstream portion of a river, it has a rectangular channel 10m wide and 1.2m deep of water flowing with a mean velocity of 0.75 m/s. Determine the height (head H) in meters of a standard rectangular weir considered without contraction at the downstream portion, if the length of weir is half of the upstream channel width. 2. The river is measured through float method. It has a length marking of 10 meters.
