E 204 (Hydrostatic Problem)


1- An inclined circular gate with water on one side is shown in figure below. Determine the
total resultant force acting on the gate and the location of the center of pressure .

Ans. (FR= 14.9 KN, YR= 2.26 m)

2- Gate AB in figure below is 1 m long and 0.9 m wide. Calculate force F on the gate and
the position X of its center of pressure.

Ans. (0.515 m from point A)


3- Find the hydrostatic force per unit width on rectangular panel AB in figure below and
determine its line of action.

Ans.(FR= 28.9 KN, 1.06 m from point B)


4- Water in tank is pressurized to 85 cmHg. Determine the hydrostatic force per meter
width on panel AB.

Ans. (FR = 502 KN)

5- In fig. below, gate AB is 4 ft. wide and opens to let fresh water out when the ocean tide is falling. The
hinge at A is 3 ft. above the fresh-water surface. At what ocean depth h will the gate open? Neglect the
gate’s weight.

Ans. ( h = 3.6 m )

6- Compute the air pressure required to keep the gate in figure closed. The gate is circular plate
diameter 0.8 m and weight 2 KN.

Ans. (Pair = 43 KPa)
