Question 1 For the condition of high tide as shown in Figure 2, determine the hydrostatic forces and their locations developed on the gate, if the height of the gate, hgate is 2.5m. Neglect the gate's weight. What will happen to the gate? Find for triangle. sg seawater = 1.025 htide=5.0m hgate =2.5m B A Figure 2: Vertical water gate. freshwater d=3.0m
