Pr 2 (25 pts) A gate to retain water is made of a quarter circular section plus a straight section as shown, and is hinged at A. The width of the gate is 15ft. The specific weight of the water is γ=62.4lbf/ft3 (a) (5 pt) Determine the hydrostatic force and distance from A of the vertical force on the on the bottom section. (b) ( 5pt ) Determine the horizontal force on the curved section, and distance from the bottom. (c) ( 5pt ) Determine the vertical force on the curved section, and distance from A. (d) (10pt) Determine the horizontal force P required to keep the gate from moving. Neglect the weight of the gate.
