The diagram shows a rigid gate (OAB), which is hinged at O and rests against a rigid  support at B. Calculate the minimum horizontal force, P, required to keep the gate closed if  its width is 3 m. Neglect the weight of the gate and friction in the hinge. The back of the 
gate is exposed to the atmosphere.
