| Introduction |
||
|
|
For safety reasons, most dams are equipped with spillway gates to control
the water level of the reservoir in the event of a flood. Consider a
spillway gate that consists a circular arc AB as shown in the figure.
The arc has a radius of 3 meters and the water level is at 6 meters. The spillway gate is 8 meters wide. |
|
| Question |
||
|
What is the magnitude and the line of action of the resultant force
exerted on the circular surface AB by the fluid? |
