Example 1: The 4-m-diameter circular gate of Fig, below is located in the inclined wall of a
large reservoir containing water*y=9810 N/m3, The gate is mounted on a shaft along its
horizontal diameter, and the water depth is 10 m above the shaft. Determine (a) the magnitude
and location of the resultant force exerted on the gate by the water and (b) the n moment that
‘would have to be applied to the shaft to open the gate.

‘A long solid cylinder of radius 0.8 m hinged at point is used as an auto-
matic gate, as shown in Fig. 3-36. When the water level reaches 5 m, the
gale opens by turning about the hinge at point A. Determine (a) the hydro-
static force acting on the cylinder and its tine of action when the gate opens
and (b) the weight of the cylinder per m length of the cylinder.
