    CE 371 HOMEWORK 3

    1) A gate having the shape in the figure is


    located in the vertical side of an open tank
    containing water. The gate is mounted on a
    horizontal shaft. (a) When the water level is
    at the top of the gate, determine the
    magnitude of the fluid force on rectangular
    portion of the gate above the shaft and the
    magnitude of the fluid force on the
    semicircular portion of the gate below the
    shaft. (b) For this same fluid depth determine
    the moment of the force acting on the
    semicircular portion of the gate with respect
    to an axis which coincides with the shaft.
    γwater = 9810 N/m3
    For a a semi circle;
    4R
    I xc = 0.1098R 4 and y CG =
    3π

    Gate
    2) As water rises on the left side of the
    rectangular gate, the gate will open
    automatically. At what depth above the hinge
    1.5 m
    will this occur? Neglect the mass of the gate. D
    γwater = 9810 N/m3

    Hinge
    Water

    3) Gate AB in the figure has a homogeneous


    mass of 180 kg, 1.2 m wide into the paper,
    resting on smooth bottom B. For what water
    depth h will the force at point B be zero?
    γglycerin = 12360 N/m3, γwater = 9810 N/m3
    4) The pressure in the air gap is 8000 Pa
    gage. The tank is cylindrical. Calculate the
    net hydrostatic force (a) on the bottom of
    the tank; (b) on the cylindrical sidewall
    CC; and (c) on the annular plane panel BB.
    γwater = 9810 N/m3

    5) For the closed tank of the figure, all


    fluids are at 20°C and the air space is
    pressurized. If the outward net hydrostatic
    force on the 40-cm by 30-cm panel at the
    bottom is 8450 N, estimate (a) the pressure
    in the air space; and (b) the reading h on
    the manometer. γoil = 8720 N/m3, γwater =
    9810 N/m3, γmercury = 133100 N/m3

    6) A “V” shaped tank is hinged about point


    A as shown in the figure. The tank is C
    B Cable
    prevented from opening by a cable BC. Find 1m
    the force in the cable if the spacing between
    Water
    the cables perpendicular the figure’s plane is 3m
    110°
    1 m. γwater = 9810 N/m3
    A Hinge

    7) Gate AB in the figure is hinged at A,


    has width b into the paper, and makes
    smooth contact at B. The gate has uniform
    density ρS and uniform thickness t. For what
    gate density, expressed as a function of (h, t,
    ρ, θ), will the gate just begin to lift off the
    bottom?

    8) An open rectangular container contains a


    liquid that has a specific weight that varies
    according to the equation γ = c1 + c 2 h , where
    c1 and c2 are constants and h is a vertical
    coordinate measured downward from the
    free surface. Derive an equation for the
    magnitude of the liquid force exerted on the
    one wall of the container having a width, b,
    and height H, and an equation that gives the
    vertical coordinate of this force.

    9) Two square gates close two openings in a


    conduit connected to an open tank of water
    as shown in the figure. When the water depth
    h reaches 5 m it is desired that both gates
    open at the same time. Determine the weight
    of the homogeneous horizontal gate and the
    horizontal force R, acting on the vertical gate
    that is required to keep the gates closed until
    this depth is reached. The weight of the
    vertical gate is negligible and both gates are
    hinged at one end as shown. Friction in the
    hinges is negligible. γwater = 9810 N/m3

    10) A structure is attached to the ocean floor


    as shown in the figure. 2 m diameter hatch is
    located an inclined and hinged at on one
    edge. Determine the minimum air pressure,
    p1 within the container to open the hatch.
    Neglect the weight of the hatch and friction
    in the hinge. γsea water = 10.1 kN/m3
