Question

Curved Surfaces Team Problem 2 The shape of the gate shown is defined by the equation $x = \frac{y^2}{4}$ m. The width (into the paper) of the gate is w = 5 m. The depth of the water to the right of the gate is 4 m. Find the magnitude and direction of (a) the horizontal force component on the gate, and (b) the vertical force component on the gate.

The shape of the gate shown is defined by the equation $x = \frac{y^2}{4}$ m.
The width (into the paper) of the gate is w = 5 m. The depth of the
water to the right of the gate is 4 m. Find the magnitude and
direction of (a) the horizontal force component on the gate, and
(b) the vertical force component on the gate.

Curved Surfaces Team Problem 2
The shape of the gate shown is defined by the equation x = (y^2)/(4) m.
The width (into the paper) of the gate is w = 5 m. The depth of the
water to the right of the gate is 4 m. Find the magnitude and
direction of (a) the horizontal force component on the gate, and
(b) the vertical force component on the gate.
