A vertical rectangular sluice gate at the bottom of the dam is 0.60m wide and 1.8m high and exposed to water pressure on one side corresponding to a head of 15m above its center. Assuming the gate on stem to weigh 2300 N and the coefficient of friction of the gate on runners to be 0.25, find the force necessary to raise it.
