A 11m gate with a hinge is set to be built on the side of a wall, which supports seawater (s.g.=1.025). The wall is at a 35 angle with respect to the horizontal, and the hinge (H) is 5 meters below the free water surface.
48. What is the force of the fluid acting on the gate?
A.53,175N
B.31,721N
C.50,292N
D.28,837N
49. What is the distance the force is acting on from point O?
A.10.1 m
B.9.23 m
C.7.55 m
D.8.72 m
50. What is the force needed to open the gate, if this force is located at the 0.75 m away
A.46,794N
B.70,900N
C.55,624N
D.36,160N
51. What is the force needed to open the gate, if this force is located at the bottom of the gate.
