Q(a) Consider Fig. Ql in which an anchoring force required to hold

Q(a) Consider Fig. Ql in which an anchoring force required to hold the elliptical gate (F). The size of the elliptical gate is L x 0.7L, inclined with angle of B while the depth of water is h. Atmospheric pressure can be ignored. Formulate an equation which can Fas a function of L, B and h. (15 marks) (b) Based on the equation as formed in QI(a), plot a graph which can relate the anchoring force and inclination angle, by assuming your own values for the unknowns. (5 marks) F Fig. Q1
