Aula Prática 3 Hydrostatics
Xcp= distance of the pressure center to the beginning of the inclined surface. Ycp is the distance to the gravity center.
The momentum of P must balance the momentum of the hydrostatic force. The hydrostatic force is applied on the Center of Pressure. L/2 CG CP YCP Note: Ycp is negative
Fh opens the gate and Fv closes it. The movement of the gate will depend on the momentum. Neglecting gate thickness: d Fh Fv
The total momentum referred to point O is zero. We have 4 Forces: 2 hydrostatic and 2 weights. P2 Fh P1 Fv
