5. (10 pts) Consider a water-filled container with a hinged cover gate, as shown in the figure below. The length of the steel gate is 1 m, its width (into the paper) is 0.5 m, and it has a mass of 400 kg. The density of the water in the container is 1,000 kg/m³. First, find the pressure acting on the gate in terms of hy and h₂ and draw a free-body diagram of the forces and moments acting on the gate. The determine the water level hy required to force open the gate. Finally, if a 200 kg mass is then placed at 0.8 m from the hinge to hold the gate closed with this water level, what will be the new water level hy to force open the gate? hy 1=0.8 m h₂=3m
