A circular gate with diameter 4 m lies in a vertical plate of a tank filed with oil of specific gravity 0.8. The oil surface is 8 m above the top of the gate. Find the force exerted by the oil on the gate and the position of the center of pressure.
5000 kg A rectangular gate 5 m by 2 m is hinged at its based and inclined at 60° to the horizontal as shown in below figure. To keep the gate in a stable position, a counter weight of 5000 kgf is attached at the upper end of the gate as shown in the figure. (Note = Neglect the weight of the gate) Hence 1 kgf = 9.81 N a) Draw the free body diagram for the gate b) Draw...
