Question: Problem 4 . Gate ( A B ) is a quarter circle with 1 0 meters wide into the paper and hinged at

Problem 4. Gate \( A B \) is a quarter circle with 10 meters wide into the paper and hinged at \( B \). Find the force needed to keep the gate from opening. The gate is uniform and has a mass 100 kg . Please show all steps
Hint: Consider the weight of a square with 8-m side that comprises of the water below and above the gate (dashed square). Then consider the weight of the water below the gate and think about the difference in the weights and how you can use that to find the vertical force component.
