Question: ( Force on plane surface ) The rectangular gate ( C D ) of the figure below is 1 . 9 m wide

(Force on plane surface) The rectangular gate \( C D \) of the figure below is 1.9 m wide and 2.0 m long. Assuming the material of the gate to be homogeneous and neglecting friction at the hinge \( C \), determine the weight of the gate necessary to keep it shut until the water level rises to 1.8 m above the hinge.
\( W=\) kN
( Force on plane surface ) The rectangular gate \
