    PROBLEM SOLVING
    1. The submerged sector gate with a 6m radius is shown. Calculate the resultant hydrostatic force and
    its location from point O if the length of the gate is 12m.
    2. Calculate the hydrostatic horizontal, vertical and resultant force of the quarter circle shown with a
    width equal to 3.5m.

    3. Determine the total hydrostatic force acting on the roof of the tunnel with a semicircular shape.
    Diameter=25’ and Length=625’
    4. Calculate the hydrostatic forces Fx1, Fx2, Fy1 and Fy2 in the figure shown. Length= 2m.

    5. A cylindrical gate shown has a length equal to 4m. The cylinder weighs 196kN. Determine the vertical
    and horizontal reactions at point A.
