Question: The rectangular gate of width w is pinned at its center A and is prevented from rotating by the block at B. Determine the reactions

The rectangular gate of width w is pinned at its center A and is prevented from rotating by the block at B. Determine the reactions at these supports due to hydrostatic pressure.


Units Used:

Mg = 103 kg kN = 103 N

Given:

a = 1.5 m ρw = 1.0Mg/m3

b = 6 m

w = 2 m g = 9.81m/s2



The rectangular gate of width w is pinned at its center A and
