The figure shows an overhead view of a hydraulically-operated gate. As fluid enters the piston side of the cylinder near A, the rod at B extends causing the gate to rotate about a vertical axis through O. For a 2.25-in-diameter piston, what fluid pressure p will give the gate an initial counterclockwise angular acceleration of 4.5 rad/sec? The radius of gyration about for the 585-lb gate is ko = 22 in. B 15" 30" Answer: p= Ib/in2
