Question 1 Consider Figure 1, determine the relationship between the depth of the water (h) with the tension of the string (T) required to prevent the overtopping of the gate, by plotting a graph to relate them. The gate is in rectangular shape, in which the length of the gate is x. The width of the base is three times larger than the height. Take the value of x as 1/10 of 57 in meters. The atmospheric pressure can be ignored. You may need to suggest values for all the unknowns to obtain the relationship. (10 marks) Centre of moment ... - - h T Figure 1 Analysis of hydrostatics.
