Answer:

The gate will open if the height of water is equal to or more than 0.337m.

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, (as seen from the reference question found on google)

The forces are given as

Force on OA

F_1=P A_1\\F_1=\rho g \bar{h} A_{OA}

Here

  • ρ  is the density of water.
  • g is the gravitational acceleration constant
  • \bar{h} is the equivalent height given as

         \bar{h}=h+\frac{0.6}{2}\\\bar{h}=h+0.3

  • A_{OA} is the area of the OA part of the door which is calculated as follows:

       A_{OA}=L\times W\\A_{OA}=1\times 0.6\\A_{OA}=0.6 m^2

The  Force is given as

F_1=0.6\rho g[h+0.3]

Force on OB

F_2=P A_2\\F_2=\rho g \bar{h} A_{OB}

Here

  • ρ  is the density of water.
  • g is the gravitational acceleration constant
  • \bar{h} is the equivalent height given as

         \bar{h}=h+0.6+\frac{0.4}{2}\\\bar{h}=h+0.8

  • A_{OA} is the area of the OB part of the door which is calculated as follows:

       A_{OB}=L\times W\\A_{OB}=1\times 0.4\\A_{OB}=0.4 m^2

The  Force is given as

F_2=0.4\rho g[h+0.8]

Now the moment arms are given as

\bar{y}_a=\bar{h}+\frac{I}{A\bar{h}}\\\bar{y}_a=h+0.3+\frac{\frac{1}{12}\times 0.6^3 \times 1}{0.6 \times[h+0.3]}\\\bar{y}_a=h+0.3+\frac{0.03}{h+0.3}

\bar{y}_b=\bar{h}+\frac{I}{A\bar{h}}\\\bar{y}_b=h+0.8+\frac{\frac{1}{12}\times 0.4^3 \times 1}{0.4 \times[h+0.8]}\\\bar{y}_b=h+0.8+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8}

Taking moment about the point O as zero

F_1(h+0.6-\bar{y}_a)=F_2(\bar{y}_b-h+0.6)\\F_1(h+0.6-h-0.3-\frac{0.03}{h+0.3})=F_2(h+0.8+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8}-h-0.6)\\F_1(0.3-\frac{0.03}{h+0.3})=F_2(0.2+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8})\\0.6\rho g[h+0.3](0.3-\frac{0.03}{h+0.3})=0.4\rho g[h+0.8](0.2+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8})\\0.6[h+0.3](0.3-\frac{0.03}{h+0.3})=0.4[h+0.8](0.2+\frac{0.0133}{h+0.8})\\0.18h -0.054-0.018=0.08h+0.064+0.00533\\h=0.337 m

So the gate will open if the height of water is equal to or more than 0.337m.

What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? a plane accelerates from
ElenaW [278]
When is at the end of the runway the velocity of the plane is given by the equation vf^{2}=0+2*a*s    where s=1800 m is the runway length. Thus
vf^{2}=2*5*1800=18000 (m/s)^{2}      
vf =134.164 (m/s)  

At half runway the velocity of the plane is
v^{2}=2*5* \frac{1800}{2}=9000 ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2}&#10; 
v= \sqrt{9000}=94.87 ( \frac{m}{s})

Therefore at midpoint of runway the percentage of takeoff velocity is
‰P= \frac{v}{vf}=  \frac{94.87}{134.164}=0.707
