Problem 3 (10 points)
The quarter-circular gate is in equilibrium, as shown. The water 2m
radius of the gate is 2 m and it is 3 m wide. There is
water on the left-hand-side and an unknown liquid on the
right-hand-side. You may assume the weight of the gate
to be negligible. Calculate the specific weight (γx) of the
unknown liquid on the right-hand-side of the gate.

Problem 4 (10 points)


An object is constructed from a material lighter than water. The object weighs 12 lb in air and a force
of 2.4 lb is required to hold it under water (i.e. hold it fully submerged in water). Calculate the specific
weight, the volume, and the specific gravity of the object.
