Homework #2: due wednesday 10/07/15 at the beginning of lecture. Please follow the solution steps outlined in the syllabus: a door 1 m wide and 1. 5 m high is located in a plane vertical wall of a water tank. The door is hinged along its upper edge, which is 1 m below the surface. Atmospheric pressure acts on the outer surface of the door. F: the gate ab shown in the figure is rectangular with a length l and width w into the page. The gate has a frictionless hinge at point a and it is held against a stop at point b by a weight mg; the pulley redirecting the weight"s cable is also frictionless. Neglecting the weight of the gate, derive an expression for the water height h at which the gate will start to move away from the stop. mg.
