Question: Solve this correctly with calculations and explanations Water Level = 1.9m Hinge Thrust force at depth x due to depth of water Sluice 3.0m wide

Solve this correctly with calculations and explanations

Water Level = 1.9m Hinge Thrust force at depth x due to depth of water Sluice 3.0m wide x 2.0m high The company you work for is also looking into different designs of sluice gate for wastewater plants. The current design consists of a rectangular open channel that is closed by a hinged sluice gate at the end. When the water reaches a depth of 1.9 m the sluice is forced open by the weight of the water allowing it to flow into the lower channel. (Density of water is 1000 kg/m3). 3.1 Find the hydrostatic thrust acting on the sluice. 3.2 By considering the position of the centre of pressure, calculate the hydrostatic turning moment acting on the sluice gate
