A vertical dam on a large lake is 30 ft tall and 60 ft wide, and the water level is 3 ft below the top of the dam. In the middle of the dam at the very bottom is a gate the shape of an equilateral triangle 12 ft on a side as shown in the figure below. (Assume a density of water ρ = 62.4 lb/ft3.) Find the hydrostatic force (in lb) on the gate. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) Ib

A vertical dam has a semicircular gate as shown in the figure. The total depth d of the figure is 10 m, the height h of air above the water level is 2 m, and the width w of the gate is 8 m. (i) Set up an integral that can be used to find the hydrostatic force (in N) against the gate. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the weight density of water is 1,000 kg/m3.) ∫ 0 ◻ ( 1,000)(9.8) (◻) d x Find the hydrostatic force (in N ) against the gate. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) N

A vertical dam has a semicircular gate as shown in the figure. The total depth d of the figure is 26 m, the height h of air above the water level is 4 m, and the width w of the gate is 8 m. Find the hydrostatic force (in N) against the gate. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Assume that the weight density of this water is 1, 000 kg/m3.)

A vertical dam retains 18 m of water. It is pierced at its base with a semi-circular door 4 m in diameter (the base of the door is its diameter), as indicated in the figure below. a) Let y denote the height in meters measured from the base of the dam. The hydrostatic force exerted by the water on the portion of the door comprised between y m and y + Δy m is approximately p(y) Δy N. What is p(y)? Note that the density of water is ρ = 1000 Kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface is g = 9.8 m/s2. Express your answer as a formula. Answer: b) In Newtons, what is the total hydrostatic force exerted on the door? FORMATTING: If you round your answer, ensure that the round-off error is less than 1 % of the value. Answer:
