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.
