Three gates of negligible weight are used to hold back water in a channel of width (b)

Question:

Three gates of negligible weight are used to hold back water in a channel of width \(b\) as shown in Fig. P2.131. The force of the gate against the block for gate \((b)\) is \(R\). Determine (in terms of \(R\) ) the force against the blocks for the other two gates.
