Extracted text: The 4 m diameter circular gate of shown in Figure 3 is located in the inclined wall of a large reservoir containing water (specific weight, y= 9.80 kN/m³). The gate is mounted on a shaft along its horizontal diameter and the water depth is 10 m above the shaft. Given le for circular gate is Water level Angle 600 10 m Stop Shaft Figure 3 a) Analyse the information given and determine the magnitude and location of the resultant force exerted on the gate by the water. b) Combine all forces involved on the circular gate and evaluate the moment that would have to be applied to the shaft to open the gate.
