Question#1: a) A 6-m-high, 5-m-wide rectangular plate blocks the end of a 5-m-deep freshwater channel, as shown in Fig. 1. The plate is hinged about a horizontal axis along its upper edge through a point A and is restrained from opening by a fixed ridge at point B. Determine the force exerted on the plate by the ridge. Sm Fig. 1 b) Consider a l-m wide inclined gate of negligible weight that separates water from another fluid. What would be the volume of the concrete block (SG=2.4) immersed in water to keep the gate at the position shown?
