Question
**Hydrostatic Forces on Inclined Plane Surface**

**6Q.** A rectangular gate having a width of 4 ft is located in the sloping side of a tank as shown in the figure. The gate is hinged along its top edge and is held in position by the force P. Neglect the friction at the hinge and weight of the gate. Determine the required value of P.

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram illustrates a tank filled with water, showing a gate inclined at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The tank's inclined side measures a total length of 16 ft, and the gate itself is positioned 10 ft from the hinge to the water surface. The rectangular gate's height is specified as 6 ft. The force, labeled as P, acts perpendicularly to the gate's surface to keep it in equilibrium.
