+21 I need help in Hydrostatic force on immersed inclined surface question.
A gate is hinged at the top, with hight 0.8 and width 1.2, at an angle of 30 degrees to the vertical. The angle to the sides of a trapezoidal river channel.
A) Find the hydrostatic force on the gate and the vertical distance between the centroid G and centre of pressure P where the river level is 0.1 m above the hinge of the gate. Answers given are 4.21x10^3 and 0.090 m. Is this to find average force or resultant force?
B) If the river level increases to 2 meters what is the force and GP now? Has GP increased or decreased and how?
+21 Doesn't this forum answer questions? But I saw many answered.
Rosala can answer this question. She probably just missed it in all the clutter.
