The cylindrical gate of canal headworks having a diameter


The cylindrical gate of canal headworks, having a diameter of 3m and a length of 6 m, is subjected to water pressure up to its top as shown in the Figure. The gate resisting on the concrete floor of the headworks, is laterally supported at A. Assuming water tight conditions at B and no rotation of the cylinder, find the minimum weight of the gate so that it may have no upward motion resulting from the water pressure.
