Each gate of a lock is 6m high and is supported by two hinges placed on the top and the bottom. When the gates are closed, they make an angle of 1200. The width of the lock is 7m. If the water levels are 5m and 2m at upstream and downstream respectively, determine the magnitude of forces on the hinge due to the water pressure.
