Question: A parallelepiped block, suspended by a cable that passes through a pulley ( see figure below ) , keeps a tank with water closed up

A parallelepiped block, suspended by a cable that passes through a pulley (see figure below), keeps a tank with water closed up to a height h =1 m, by ensuring contact between the gate AB and the stop. The block has a square base and height h1=1.5 m, being composed of a material with mass specifies =2000/3. The gate has height h2=2 m and width b =3 m. Determine the minimum width of the block base (L) to ensure the tank closes. Given: =30,=0.2
