Problem 13: A gate in the form of a partial cylindrical surface holds back water on top of a
dam as shown in Figure. The radius of the surface is 6.7m, and its length is 11m. The gate
can pivot about point A, and the pivot point is 3m above the seat. Determine the magnitude
of the resultant water force on the gate. Will the resultant pass through the pivot? Explain.
