1. In Fig. Water acts against the gate which is hinged at point A. Friction in the
hinge is negligible. Determine the tension in the cable in lbs.

2. The gate is hinged at A and rest on a smooth floor at B. The gate is 2.4 m
wide into the paper. Determine the ff:

a.) Force exerted by the water on the gate in kN

b.) The Force P needed to open the gate, neglecting the weight of the gate in
kN
c.) The force P necessary to oprn it considering the weight of gate of kN

3. The figure below shows a vertical circular gate in a 3-m diameter tunnel with
water on one side and air on the other side .
a. Find the horizontal reaction at the hinge in kN.
b. Where will the hinge support be located (z) to hold the gate in position in
meters?

4. A vertical plate shown is submerged in vinegar having a specific gravity of

0.80. Assume 20 = 9.79 /3
a. Find the depth of the center of pressure of section 1 from the liquid surface
in meters.
b. Find the magnitude of the total hydrostatic force on one side of the plate in
kN.
c. Find the depth of the center of pressure of the whole section from the liquid
surface in meters.

5. The 8 ft. diam. cylinder weighs 500 lb. And rests on the bottom of a tank
that is 3 ft. long. Water and oil are poured into the left and right portions of the
tank to depths of 2 ft. and 4 ft. respectively. All answers should be in lbs
a. Find the horizontal component of the force that will kept the cylinder
touching the tank at B.
b. Find the vertical component of the force that will push up the cylinder.
c. Compute the force that will keep the cylinder touching the tank at B.

6. Determine the total hydrostatic force of sea water (lbs) acting per foot of
length on the wall.

7. The sector gate AC is shown below

(a) Det. the amount of horizontal hydrostatic force in kN.
(b) Determine the amount of vertical hydrostatic force in kN.

8.The curved and flat pins are pin connected at A, B and C. They are
submerged in a water at the depth shown. Determine the reaction at pin B. The
plates have a width of 4 meters into the paper.
