QI: An open tank as shown in figure (1) has a vertical partition and on one side contains gasoline with a density p= 700 kg m' at a depth of 4 m. A rectangular gate that is 4m high and 2m wide and hinged at one end is located in the partition. Water is slowly added to the empty side of the tank. At what depth, h, will the gate start to open?

A vertical dam has a semicircular gate as shown in the figure. The total depth d of the figure is 42 m, the height h of air above the water level is 6 m, and the width w of the gate is 8 m. Find the hydrostatic force against the gate. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the weight density of water is 1000 kg/m3.)
