Осean Marsh d = 9 ft 5.79 A freshwater marsh is drained to the ocean through an automatic tide gate that is 4 ft wide and 3 ft high. The gate is held by hinges located along its top edge at A and bears on a sill at B. At a given time, the water levels in the marsh and in the ocean are h = 6 ft and d = 9 ft, respectively. Determine the force exerted by the sill on the gate at B and the hinge reaction at A. (Specific weight of salt water = 64 lb/ft³.) h = 6 ft 3 ft B Fig. P5.79
