ASSIGNMENT: Hydrostatic Force on Plane and Curved Surfaces

1. Isosceles triangle gate AB in the Figure is hinged at A and weighs 1500 N.

What horizontal force P is required at point B for equilibrium?

2. The tank in the figure contains benzene and is pressurized to 200 kPa in the
air gap. Determine the resultant force on circular-arc section AB and its line
of action.
3. Find the magnitude and location of the force exerted by water on one side of
the vertical annular disk shown.
