1. The rigid gate with 3m width is installed in order to control the water outflow as shown in the figure. The gate is hinged at point o and rests against a support at point B. Assuming that the weight of the gate as well as the friction at the hinge don't have significant effects, determine the following: a. Determine the magnitude of the hydrostatic forces (resultant forces). b. Locate the center of pressure for the hydrostatic forces (resultant forces). c. Required horizontal force, P in order to hold the gate closed.
