Q1. 25%. Figure Q1 shows a side elevation view of a curved lock gate of width B=5m into the paper. The lock gate holds back water of depth D. The gate pivots about a hinge at (x,y)=(0,0) and is restrained by a vertical force F acting at a distance Xp from the hinge. The shape of the gate is given by x=y/A, where A is a constant and A=4m. Neglect the self-weight of the gate. F V Water surface D Z X XF a) Draw the pressure diagram for the gate (draw it on the figure above) (5%) Write answers (symbolic and numerical) immediately below each part and show your key working steps on the next page. b) Write a symbolic expression for the horizontal force on the gate and evaluate it for D=4m. (5%) c) Write a symbolic expression for the vertical force on the gate and evaluate it for D=4m. (6%) d) Write a symbolic expression for the restraining force F and evaluate it for D=4m and XF=5m. (9%)
