Question: Problem 2 (70 points) Water in an open channel is held in by a sluice gate. Water is flowing from the left to the right.

Problem 2 (70 points) Water in an open channel is held in by a sluice gate. Water is flowing from the left to the right. Solve for the horizontal reaction force on the gate per unit width. Known that the flow is in the steady state and the water is incompressble with pwater = 1g/ml. We ignore the friction forces. The atmosphere pressure is negligible and the velocity profile is uniformly distributed at the cross-sections. Dy = 0.429m
