Fluid Mechanics Exam Problem: Hydrostatic Forces on a Plane Gate

[@dramoyoedward9229]

Thanks alot for the very wonderful and very clear explanation 🙏

nice

[@ryanduthie1311]

how is there a moment because of Fbc? not sure how that causes rotation

[@FluidMatters]

I suggest doing a review of basic statics. Fbc has a moment arm that will cause the gate to rotate CCW. It will act to open the gate.
