Question: ( 1 0 pts . ) The rectangular gate shown in figure rotates about an axis through N . If a = 3 . 3

(10 pts.) The rectangular gate shown in figure rotates about an axis through N. If a=3.3ft,b=1.3ft,d=2ft, and the width perpendicular to the plane of the figure is 3ft, what torque (applied to the shaft through N) is required to hold the gate closed? (Answer: 4240ft-1b)[Will be covered in next class]
Please use equations F=(\gamma hc)a and ycp=hc+(I\hc*a) to solve the problem.
