Question:

The figure shows an overhead view of a hydraulically-operated gate. As fluid enters the piston side of the cylinder near A, the rod at B extends causing the gate to rotate about a vertical axis through O. For a 2-in.-diameter piston, what fluid pressure p will give the gate an initial counterclockwise angular acceleration of 4 rad/sec? The radius of gyration about O for the 500-lb gate is kO = 38 in.
