The level of water in a dam is 6 m. The rectangular gate ABC is pinned at point B so it can rotate freely about this point. When
the gate is aligned vertically, its counterclockwise rotation is prevented by the block at C. The density of water is 1,000 kg/m3 .
Determine the reactions at the supports B and C due to hydrostatic pressure.

Answer:
222.5 Gpa
Explanation:
From definition of engineering stress,
where F is applied force and A is original area
Also, engineering strain, where l is original area and
is elongation
We also know that Hooke's law states that
Since A=20 mm* 20 mm= 0.02 m*0.02 m
F= 89000 N
l= 100 mm= 0.1 m
By substitution we obtain
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Velocity of water
Height=?
Generally, the equation for Water Velocity is mathematically given by
Therefore Height h is given as
