Specify the Fig. 1 weighs 75 N; the center of gravity is located axis, pitch and point of intersection with the x-z plane. (10) 2. The flat plate, shown in Fig. 2, seals a triangular opening in the vertical wall of a tank of liquid of unit weight y= 10 kN.m®. The plate is hinged about the upper edge O of the triangle. Determine the force P required to hold the gate in a closed position against the pressure of the liquid. Take A = 1 m, a =2 m,6=3 m.
