A gate AB 4 ft long and 2 ft wide is held in position
shown due to the spring whose constant is 96.0 Ibf/in. The spring is located
compressed 1.5 ft in such a way as to keep the gate in equilibrium. Assume that
on the gate (which moves through a circular sector BD as shown in Fig.
figure), the force due to the spring is always horizontal. Determine the height d of the water.
(A) Determine the value of z if the pressure at n is 1.495 lb/in2 greater than at m.(B) If the pressure at m is 20.59 lb/in2, what is the corresponding pressure at n when z = 8.95 in.?
Question 2
In the schematic demonstrated
in the figure, a spherical gate is
used to regulate the height of
water in a tank. The sphere
radius is 50 cm and when the
water height in the tank reaches
6 m, the gate opens by turning
around hinge A. Determine the
total hydrostatic force applied
on the sphere and its angle of
action at the moment that the
gate is about to open.
