D 14 Water Problem 6: Two gates are being considered for the same application as shown in the two figures. Both gates exert a vertical force (Fay) at point A. Taking the length 1 to be 5m and the width (into the page) of the rectangular gate to be 4m, determine a) The reaction force Fay for the plane gate b) The reaction force Fay for the circular gate Note: Neglect the weight of the gate. Hinge B Rectangular gate Smooth boundary (a) Plane gate VA Water Hinge sin 45° Smooth boundary (b) Curved gate
