Hello please can the following question be answered using moments. I have failed this question twice now getting answers 817.5 and 613.125. Some guidance I have been given isMoment of a Force = Force
A hinged water storage is shown below. Its top side is denoted as C, the narrow side as B and the long side as A. Assume water density is 1000 kg/m3 and gravity is 9.81 m/s2
Side A is hinged at the bottom edge and secured using a clasp at its top edge.
Dimensions are: L = 1m, H = 0.5m & W = 0.5m
When the tank is full of water:
Calculate the required resisting force at the clasp to keep the panel shut.
