Question 1

What pressure is calculated at the centroid of the elliptical gate?

  • 98000 Pa
  • 5000 Pa
  • 120000 Pa

💡 Hint: Use the density and depth values given.

Question 2

Is the resultant force required to open the gate dependent on water depth?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall how pressure changes with depth.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the total force required to open an elliptical gate with a depth of 15 meters of water above it if the dimensions remain the same as in the example.

💡 Hint: Make sure to account for the height change in pressure.

Question 2

If the weight of the gate was taken into account and was 2000 N, how would that affect the force required to open the gate?

💡 Hint: Remember, net force is the resultant minus any counter forces.
