2.12R 2.12R (Force on curved surface) _A gate in the form of a Tuinter partial cylindrical surface (called a Tainier gate) holds back wate Ny ‘water on top of a dam as shown in Fig. P2.12R. The radius of the surface is 22 f, and its length is 36 f. The gate can pivot about point A, and the pivot point is 10 ft above the seat, C. Determine the magnitude of the resultant water force on the gate, Will the resultant pass through the pivot?
