Problem 2: Pressure force on a triangular gate
As shown in figure 2, a planar gate of right-angled triangular shape is installed on an inclined wall at
=60 angle from the horizontal surface, supporting water with density =1000kgm3. The y-
coordinate is defined along the inclined wall and x-coordinate is perpendicular to the page.
Find the magnitude of the resultant force, FR, and the y-location of its action, yR(no need to report
xR). Report your FR in Newton and yR in meter. (2 pts)
Find the stopper force Fs acting horizontally at the the tip of the triangular gate in order to hold
the gate closed. (1 pt
