A circular cylinder and isused to maintain a water depth of 4 m. That is, when the water depth exceeds 4 m, thegate opens slightly and lets the water flow under it. Determine the weight of the gate permeter of length

  W / A = 39200 kg / m²

Explanation:

For this problem let's use the equilibrium equation of / newton

           F = W

Where F is the force of the door and W the weight of water

         W = mg

We use the concept of density

        ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

The volume of the water column is

          V = A h

We replace

         W = ρ A h g

On the other side the cylinder cover has a pressure

          P = F / A

          F = P A

We match the two equations

       P A = ρ A h g

        P = ρ g h

        P = 39200 Pa

The weight of the water column is

       W  = 1000 9.8 4 A

       W / A = 39200 kg / m²

d) physical means can be used to separate the components of air.
