d = 1.395 m ▣ 3. What normal force must be applied to the vertex of the gate to keep it closed? [SOLUTION] ∑Mbot = 0 −(37.21 kN)(2 m − 1.395 m) + F(2 m) = 0 F = 11.256 kN SITUATION 2. A vertical rectangular gate 1.5 m wide and 3 m high is submerged in water with its bottom edge submerged 2 m below the water. ▣ 4. Find the hydrostatic force acting on one side of the gate. [SOLUTION] F = γhA F = (9.81 kN m3 ) ( 2 m 2 ) (2 m × 1.5 m) F = 29.43 kN ▣ 5. Find the location of the said force from the bottom of the gate. [SOLUTION] Compute for the eccentricity e = I Ay e = 1 12 (1.5 m)(2 m) 3 (1.5 m × 2 m) ( 2 m 2 )
