A Tainter gate used to control water flow from the Uniontown Dam on the Ohio River is shown; the gate width is w=34 m. (a) Determine the magnitude and direction of the horizontal component of the hydrostatic force (in kN) acting on the gate. Indicate the direction by putting an R for right and L for left after your numerical answer. (b) Determine the vertical component of the hydrostatic force (in kN) acting on gate. Indicate the direction by putting an U for upward and D for downward after your numerical answer. (c) Determine the magnitude (in kN) of the hydrostatic force acting on the gate. (d) What angle (in degrees) does the hydrostatic force F make with horizontal?.
