What is the horizontal force required to hold the thin sluice gate of height H and length L in the position shown in Figure 7.20A? You may assume 2D steady flow under the gate, with uniform velocities and hydrostatic pressure distributions at the indicated locations. What is the horizontal force required to hold the sluice gate in the closed position as shown in Figure 7.20B if the water levels on both sides remain the same?
