Question
The flow of water from a container is controlled by a 5-ft-wide L-shaped gate hinged at point A, as shown in the figure. If it is desired that the gate open when the height of the water is 10 ft, determine the weight W of the counterweight to achieve this. Take d= 5 ft and H = 16 ft. Give your answer in lb and without decimals.
