Determine the actuation force required to open the door under the nominated differential head of 2.4m measured from the bottom of the sill plate.(this is also bottom of the gate). THe gate opens along the y axis
assume the friction coefficient between the frame and the seal is 0.7 and the penstock door's mass is 81.95 kg
Note gate doesn't sit within the body of the water. Rather it is part of the penstock used to contorl water flow.
the length of the gate is 1010mm and width is 980mm.
Please explain in detail what forces will act in a FBD.
