The flow rate of water through a 8 meter wide channel is controlled by a sluice gate. The flow depths are measured to be 1.3 and 0.45 meters upstream and downstream from the gates. Determine force acting on the sluice gate, assuming flow velocity before the sluice gate is 3m/s. What is the force acting on the sluice gate when the gate is closed.
