Force on the curved portion of the wall:

h=R-Rsinθ   =R1-sinθ

Question Image

The force on the element

dF=ρghRdθ×1 dFx1=dFcosθ        =ρghRdθcosθ        =ρgR21-sinθcosθdθ Fx1=ρgR20π/2cosθ-sin2θ2dθ          =ρgR2sinθ+cos2θ40π/2          =ρgR2sinπ2+cosπ4-sin0+cos0          =ρgR21+14-1          =ρgR24 Fy=ρgR20π/21-sinθsinθdθ     =ρgR20π/2sinθ-sin2θdθ     =ρgR2-cosθ+sin2θ4-θ20π/2     =ρgR2-cosπ2+sinπ4-π4--cos0+sin0-0     =ρgR21-π4     =ρgR24-π4

Force on the flat vertical position of the gate

Fx2=Pav×A      =ρgR+ρg2R2×R×1      =32ρgR2

Thus Fx=Fx1+Fx2

              =ρgR24+32ρgR2 =74ρgR2

Thus resultant force F=Fxi^+Fy-j^

                                    =74ρgR2i^-ρgR24-π4j^

After substituting the values and simplifying, we get

F=961.38i^-103.16j^kN
