Step 1
First, let's calculate the area of the gate. The area is given by the formula: Area = length x width. In this case, the length is 4.5m and the width is 1m. So, the area of the gate is 4.5m x 1m = 4.5 square meters. Show more…

The rectangular homogeneous gate shown below is 3.00 m high × 1.00 m wide and has a frictionless hinge at the bottom. If the fluid on the left side of the gate has a density of 1,600 kg/m3 , the magnitude of the force F (kN) required to keep the gate closed is most nearly: 3.00 m Frictionless hinge a) 0kN b) 22 kN c) 24 kN d) 220 kN
