A gate with a circular cross section is held closed by a lever 1 m long attached to a buoyant cylinder. The cylinder is 25 cm in diameter and weighs 200 N. The gate is attached to a horizontal shaft so it can pivot about its center. The liquid is water. The chain and lever attached to the gate have negligible weight. Find the length of the chain such that the gate is just on the verge of opening when the water depth above the gate hinge is 10 m.

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

length of lever = 1 m

diameter of cylinder = 25 cm

weight of cylinder = 200 N

hydrostatic force

[tex]F_H=\gamma hA[/tex]

      = [tex]9810\times 10\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}1^2[/tex]

      = 77048 N

now,

[tex]y_{cp}-\bar{y}= \dfrac{I}{\bar{y}A}[/tex]

                    =  [tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{\pi r^4}{4}}{10\times\dfrac{\pi D^4}{4}}[/tex]

                    =  0.00625 m

Finding the resultant force

[tex]F = F_{buoyancy} - W[/tex]

[tex]F = \gamma_{water}A(10-l)-W[/tex]

[tex]F = 9810\times 10\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}0.25^2\times (10-l)-200[/tex]

F = 4615.5-481.5 l

taking moment about hinge

[tex]F_{H}\times 0.00625 - 1 \times F = 0[/tex]

[tex]77048\times 0.00625 - 1 \times(4615.5-481.5 l) = 0[/tex]

l = 8.58 m

The length of the chain such that the gate is just on the verge of opening  is mathematically given as

l=8.58m

What is the length of the chain?

Generally, the equation for the   is mathematically given as

[tex]F'=\gamma hA[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]9810*10* \dfrac{\pi}{4}1^2[/tex]

Fh= 77048 N

Where

[tex]ycp-y=\frac{\frac{\pi r^4}{4}}{10*\frac{\pi D^4}{4}}[/tex]

ycp-y=0.00625

In conclusion, resultant force

x = F'' - W

x = 9810* 10*( \pi/4 )*0.25^2 *(10-l)-200

x = 4615.5-481.5 l

Therefore

77048* 0.00625 - 1 *(4615.5-481.5 l) = 0

l=8.58m
