    This document contains 15 problems related to calculating hydrostatic forces on dams and gates from diagrams. The problems involve calculating components and resultants of forces from fluids (usually water) acting on curved surfaces like dams, gates, and blades. Key elements calculated include force magnitudes, directions, and locations/depths of the resultant forces. Diagrams provide geometric information like radii, widths, and water depths to solve for the hydrostatic forces.

    1. The diagram below shows a dam that holds water. Calculate the hydrostatic force per
    meter of dam width acting on the curved surface AB of the dam.

    pivoting about point O. See figure below. For the position shown, determine:
    a. The hydrostatic force of the water on the gate per unit width, and
    b. Its line of action. Does the force pass through point O
