Question

Vertical gate is submerged in water (SG = 1.00) of H = 1pq m. depth and oil of 3 m thickness, as shown below. The gate is hinged at its base (B). Determine the force FA acting on the top of the gate required to hold the gate when the gate is a square 10 x 10 m2 Please properly draw the pressure diagram and FBD for the calculation of FA H = 110 m (one hundred thirty-five meter) | Oil SG = 0.7 h = 3 m water H FA Gate: Side View A R = 10 m

Step 1

Given: Density of oil (ρ) = 700 kg/m^3 Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3 Thickness of oil (h) = 3 m Side length of gate (R) = 10 m The force F at a distance X from the ground on a small plate of thickness D is given by: F = ρghD F = 700 * 9.81 * 3 + 1000 * 9.81 * Show more…
