would the force required to open gate be pgh 1000 x 9.81 x 10? therefore be 98100 pa? adzp

the 2nd moment of area Ig about axis through centroid is 0.1102Rto the power of 4 so that would be 0.1102 x 1.571 to the power of 4 which is 0.272? still confused where to go next adzp

is 'w' pg? therefore 1000 x 9.81? adzp

so would it be 0 + 14.7/w + 0squared/2g = Z2 + 10.29/w + 1.8squared/2g + loss of head would this be it?

what if the resivior is closed to atm? would it then be a different figure?

hi i have worked out the area and it is 1.571 once i have got the area of the gate, then how to i calculate the force required to open it? thanks adzp

i can't calculate the area as i do not know all the measurements or how would i do this? thanks adzp

how would this be done? i have the forumula for bernoulli;s in front of me but can't really see how to use it for this question? thanks adzp

hi guys. got another question for ya. ....... seems to of uploaded small but i explain. a reservoir is designed to retain water to a max depth of 10metres. if the water level exceeds 10 metres, then a hinged semi circle gate will open to release any excess water. the gate has a...

Hi. i am trying to brush up on my fluid mechanics for when i do it next year at uni. do any of you guys have any idea how to solve the follow question? 'A suction pump moves water from a reservoir to a holding tank. The system is designed in such a way that the suction pump is inclined...
