15 Tugboat Problem 1. Four tugboats are used to bring an ocean liner to its pier. Each tugboat exerts 100kN push in the direction shown. Determine the point on hull where a single, more powerful tugboat should push to produce the same effect as the original four tugboats. Also determine the total push and its direction to be exerted by the single tugboat.

50 The gate ABC (cross-section shown) is made of two rectangular panels AB and BC having uniform thickness and welded together at B. The gate is 500 mm wide and is used to maintain water level in two adjacent channels. The gate is pivoted about a horizontal axis through A by hinges located along its top edge. To ensure that the depth of water does not exceed 1500 mm in the left channel, determine the maximum value of the total weight of the gate. The depth of water in the right side channel is 900 mm. Neglect the thickness of the gate in calculating the center of gravity, and the reduction in its weight due to buoyancy effects. Take the specific gravity of water = 10 kn/m 3.

The gate has a horizontal width of 2 m perpendicular to the plane of this paper. For a depth h = 3 m of water, calculate the required oil pressure p which acts on the 150-mm- diameter piston of the hydraulic cylinder. Specific weight of fresh water is 10 kn/ m 3.

As a result of condensation in the tank, fresh water collects at the bottom of the channel. Calculate the moment M applied about the hinge axis B required to close the gate against the hydrostatic forces of the water and oil. The specific gravity of the oil is Density of water is 1000 kg/m 3 and acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s 2.
