We are asked to determine the magnitude of P needed to hold the gate in position as shown in the diagram, 'slader' where:

A=hingeB=center of pressure of the gateC=center of gravity of the gateF=hydrostatic force on the gate\begin{aligned} \\ A&=\text{hinge}\\ B&=\text{center of pressure of the gate}\\ C&=\text{center of gravity of the gate}\\ F&=\text{hydrostatic force on the gate} \end{aligned}
