Question 5: Curved Surface
The gate AB shown below is hinged at A and rests against a perfectly smooth vertical wall. The width of the gate is 5m long with water as shown. Find the following:
a) The horizontal component (PH) of the Total Hydrostatic Pressure
b) The vertical component (Pv) of the Total Hydrostatic Pressure
c) The Total Hydrostatic Pressure P
d) The angle of inclination from the horizontal axis. Use density of water =1,000kgm3.
e) The distance 'y' of PH from point B
f) The distance 'x' of PV from point B
