Question: ( Force on plane surface ) The rectangular gate ( C D ) of the figure below is 2 . 0 m wide

(Force on plane surface) The rectangular gate \( C D \) of the figure below is 2.0 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 2.2 m above the hinge.
