Buoyancy = No Leakage of water !

The figure here shows a water tank provided with a square gate (of side 2 m 2\text{ m} ) which can rotated freely about z z axis passing through shown point A A . The gate is held in its place due to buoyant force acting on the light balloon attached to the gate via a light thread. Considering the information that the gate just opens when level of water reaches the height of 4 m 4 \text{ m} above point A A and hinge force is zero, the shown point P P is point at which the thread is attached to the gate

( A ) (A) Volume of water displaced by the balloon is 20 m 3 20 \text{ m}^3 .

( B ) (B) Volume of water displaced by the balloon is 30 m 3 30 \text{ m}^3 .

( C ) (C) Distance between A and P is approximately 1.06 m 1.06 \text{ m} .

( D ) (D) Force on gate due to Water is 15 kN 15 \text{ kN}

( B , C ) (B,C) ( B ) (B) ( D ) (D) ( A , C , D ) (A,C,D) ( A ) (A) ( A , C ) (A,C) ( B , C , D ) (B,C,D) ( C , D ) (C,D)
