5. Gate AB is 4 feet wide and hinged at A. Gage Greads -2.17 psi. Oil with a specific gravity of 0.750 is in the right-hand tank. The unit weight of air is 7.49 x 10 s, and the unit weight of water is 62.4 lb/ft lbst a. What horizontal force (magnitude and direction) must be applied at B for equilibrium of gate AB? b. Draw a free body diagram (FBD) of Gate AB: include the fluid forces (water and oil), the force at B for equilibrium, and also where they are located relative to a datum on the bottom of the tank (datum=0 ft at tank bottom).
Gage G 18 ft Water 6 ft
