A gate is designed to open when the water surface reaches a distance of 0.800 m above the top of the gate. The face of the gate that is acted upon by the water pressure is a rectangle with width 1130 mm and height 1030 mm. Determine: • The resultant, FR, of the force exerted by the water on the gate. • The distance, Lp-Lc, from the centroid of the rectangle to the centre of pressure ● The magnitude of the weight, W, required so that the gate begins to open when the water surface is a distance of 0.800 m above the top of the gate.
