Considering a vertical sluice gate in a horizontal smooth rectangular channel, the upstream and downstream water depths are 5.1 and 0.45 m, respectively. The upstream flow velocity is 0.5 m/s and the channel width is 27 m. Calculate the downstream flow depth and the force acting on the sluice gate. Draw the control volume and show the forces acting on the sluice gate.

An open tank has a vertical rectangular gate as a partition, and on one side contains gasoline. The rectangular gate, that is 5 m high and 2 m wide, is hinged at the bottom end of the partition. A stopper is located at the top end of the gate, which only allows the gate to swing open towards the gasoline side of the tank. Water is slowly added to the empty side of the tank. If the depth of the...
