A 2 m tall rectangular gate )=(2m in the ocean is held in place by a stop as shown in the figure.
Seawater (density: 1030kgm3) acts against the gate, which is hinged at point A, which is 0.5 m below
the surface )=(0.5m. If the force on the gate is currently 40,900N,
Determine the vertical distance below the water surface where the resultant force on the gate is
applied. [15 points]
By 2050, sea level rise is expected to increase by )=(75(cm). Determine the change in
force on the gate in 2050.[5 points]
h=2m
=1030kgm3
d=0.5
f=40900N
A 2 m tall rectangular gate ) = ( 2 m in the
