Figure 3: Schematic for curved gate
4.[17pts] The massless parabolic gate shown is W=3m wide and pivoted at O. Take c=0.15m-1,D=2.5m, and H=9m. Determine:
(a)7pts the magnitude of the vertical force on the gate due to the water mass,
(b)8pts the magnitude and the line of action of the horizontal force acting on the gate, and
(c)2pts the horizontal force applied at A required to maintain the gate in equilibrium. Take the line of action for the vertical force to be 38D2c2.
