A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic force exerted on the gate by the 2-m-high water and the location of the pressure center. (Round the final answers to the nearest whole number and to two decimal places, respectively.) Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m^3 throughout.

The hydrostatic force exerted on the gate by the water is kN.

The vertical distance of the pressure center from the free surface of water is m.

The Hydrostatic force is  

The location of pressure center is    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the gate is  

     The weight of the gate is  

      The height of the water is  

       The density of water is

Note used for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water  is mathematically represented as

substituting values

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

Where

So  

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

Where is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

The is the height of gate immersed in water

Thus  

d they tend to lose electrons and become cations.

explanation:

prolly a beacuse the momentuem the car has increases while going down hill
