(a) A circular butterfly gate pivoted about a horizontal axis passing through its centroid is subjected to hydrostatic thrust on one side and counterbalanced by a force, F, applied at the bottom as shown in fig. 2.25. If the diameter of the gate is 4 m and the water depth is 1 m above the gate determine the force F, required to keep the gate in position. 2 1 m Water Pivot 4 m Dia. G P с F Figure Circular gate
