Question:
A gate rotates at point A and releases water when the water's depth, d, exceeds a certain value. The gate's width (perpendicular to the image) is d = 1.95 ft, the water's depth is d = 5.34 ft, and point A is located at h = 2.67 ft. What is F, the magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the gate by the water? The water's specific weight is γw = 62.4 lf/ft3.
