Question: Problem # 3 [ 1 5 marks ] A cylindrical gate of length l = 1 m ( into the page ) and radius R

Problem # 3[15 marks] A cylindrical gate of length l=1m(into the page) and radius R=0.50m is pivoted
at A. The gate opens by rotating counterclockwise about A when the level in the tank is equal to hw=
3.50 m .
Determine the magnitude and direction (angle) of the pressure force exerted by the water when the
cylindrical gate is about to open. [10 marks]
If the pressure force is passing through the center of the cylinder, determine the weight of the cylindrical
gate. [5 marks]
