Problem 2. The Figure shows a curved surface LM, which is in the form of a
quadrant of a circle of radius 3 m, immersed in the water. If the width of the
gate is unity (L = 1 m), calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the
total force acting on the curved surface.

Problem 3. A cylinder 2.2 m in diameter and 3.3 m long supported as shown in
Figure retains water on one side. If the cylinder weighs 165 kN, calculate the
vertical reaction at L and horizontal reaction at M. Neglect the frictional
effects.

Problem 5. Figure shows a flash board. Find the depth of water h and the
compressive force in the strut per metre of the crest at the instant when the
water is just ready to tip the flash board.

NOTE: The solution of this problem has a bonus of one point (1.0) in the
first partial exam.
