Gate As shown in the right figure, both sides of a rectangular gate undergo the pressure of fresh water, where H1 4.0 m, H2 =2.0 m and the angle a= 45°. Assuming the width of gate b =1.0 m, determine the magnitude and location of the total hydrostatic force exerted on the gate. (g is taken as 9.81 m/s?)
