4. a. Draw a free-body diagram of the gate AO and show all the forces acting on it with appropriate labels. Clearly indicate the location of each force acting on the gate. (5 pts.) b. Obtain an expression for the force F,,q exerted on the gate by the connecting rod as a function of @. (10 pts.) Plot Frog vs. 8 for 2° < @ < 90° at 2° increments. (7.5 pts.) d. Neglect the weight of the gate and obtain expression for the force Freq as a function of @ Plot Frog vs. 0 for 2° < 6 < 90° at 2° increments on the graph containing the plot of item c). (7.5 pts) ° NOTE: Plots in items c) & d) will be made on the same graph. Hand drawn plots will not be accepted. Use “XY (Scatter) chart” of Microsoft Excel with 6 on the x-axis. Label y-axis and x- axis “Force. [N]” and “Angle [Deg.]”. respectively. Remove chart title, add an appropriate legend to the chart. Printout the Excel spreadsheet (which shows all the data) and submit along with your solutions. revolute joint connecting rod movable Fig. P3 (30 pts.) The flat plate BC and the curved plate in the form of a quarter circular are AB are connected by a revolute joint at points A, B, and C as shown in Fig. P4. The joints are sealed and frictionless. Pressurized air (Pi, = 70 kPa gage) is trapped underneath the plates while both plates are submerged in water (py = 1000 kg/m?) as shown in the figure. Both plates are thin and rigid, and have a width of 5 m. a. Draw a free-body diagram of the curved plate AB, show all the forces acting on it with appropriate labels. (5 pts.) b. Draw a fiee-body diagram of the flat plate BC. show all the forces acting on it with appropriate labels. (5 pts.) ¢. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction at the revolute joint B. (20 pts.) Patm | air 1 P= 70 kPa (gage) Fig. P4
