A tank holds water (density of 995.7 kg/m3) with a triangular gate located at the bottom right. The gate is an isosceles triangle with a base/width of 0.7 m and a height of 1.4 m. What force (F) applied at the gate's centroid is needed to keep the gate closed? The height from the water surface to the gate centroid is given by h = 4.9 m. Please note that the side view of the gate is shown and that the force is applied at the gate's centroid, although not accurately drawn.
The water-gate articulated in point B and inclined at an alfa angle to the horizontal retains an H level of water. The gate is blocked by a cable which is anchored in the lower part of the dam. It is required to determine the force necessary to open the gate. The width of the water gate is 1 m.
