Question: ( 3 0 points ) The tide gate opens automatically when the tidewater at B subsides, allowing the marsh at A to drain. The gate

(30 points) The tide gate opens automatically when the tidewater at B subsides, allowing the marsh at A to drain. The gate has a width of 2m.
(a) Compute the magnitude of the resultant force on the lefthand side of the gate when the water level is h=4m,
(b) Compute the magnitude of the resultant force on the righthand side of the gate,
(c) Compute the moment about D of the resultant force from part A
(d) Compute the moment about D of the resultant force from part B
(e) For the water level h=4m, determine the horizontal reaction at the smooth stop C.
( 3 0 points ) The tide gate opens automatically
