∴ Depth of C.P. = sin 60◦ m =

∴ Thrust is equally divided between XX and bottom.

∴ Load at bottom = 9580 N; at each upper corner 4790 N

∴ Total moment about hinge = 33.84 kN × 1.111/ 2 m
= 26.59 kN · m

2.14 Width of gates = (3 m) sec 30◦ = 3.464 m
Thrust on ‘deep’ side of gate
= (1000 × 9.81 × 4.5)(9 × 3.464)N = 1.376 MN
Trust on ‘shallow’ side of gate
= (1000 × 9.81 × 1.35)(2.7 × 3.464)N

Net thrust = (1.376 − 0.124) MN = 1.252 MN
1.252 MN
∴ Force between gates = 1.252 MN
= 2 sin 30◦
Resultant force F acts at height y given by

∴ y= m = 3.208 m

Total hinge reaction R also acts at this height.
