The clearance between the shaft of 100 mm dia and the bearing varies from 0.2 mm to 0.1 mm over a length of 0.3 m. The viscosity of the oil filling the clearance is 4.8 x 10⁻² Ns/m2. The axial velocity of the shaft is 0.6 m/s. Determine the force required.

The hinge is the center of the circular arc. The vertical distance from the hinge to the top of the gate is $R \sin(30^\circ)$. The vertical distance from the hinge to the bottom of the gate is also $R \sin(30^\circ)$.
Vertical height of the gate, $h = 2 \times R \sin(30^\circ) = 2 \times 4 \text{ m} \times 0.5 = 4 \text{ m}$.
Since the water level is at the top of the gate, the total water depth $H = h = 4 \text{ m}$.

The horizontal force on a curved surface is equal to the hydrostatic force on the vertical projection of the surface.
The vertical projection of the gate is a rectangle with height $h = 4 \text{ m}$ and width $b = 1 \text{ m}$.
The centroid of this projected area is at a depth $h_c = H/2 = 4/2 = 2 \text{ m}$ from the free surface.
The horizontal force is given by:

where $A_{proj} = h \times b = 4 \text{ m} \times 1 \text{ m} = 4 \text{ m}^2$.

The line of action of $F_H$ is at $y_p = \frac{2H}{3}$ from the free surface.

The vertical force on a curved surface is equal to the weight of the fluid volume directly above the surface.
The area of the fluid volume (per unit width) above the gate can be calculated as the area of the rectangle formed by the water surface and the vertical line from the hinge, minus the area of the circular sector, plus the area of the triangle formed by the hinge and the ends of the gate.
Let's consider the area of the fluid above the gate.
The horizontal distance from the hinge to the ends of the gate is $x = R \cos(30^\circ) = 4 \text{ m} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 2\sqrt{3} \text{ m} \approx 3.464 \text{ m}$.
The vertical distance from the hinge to the water surface (top of the gate) is $y_{top} = R \sin(30^\circ) = 4 \text{ m} \times 0.5 = 2 \text{ m}$.
The vertical distance from the hinge to the bottom of the gate is $y_{bottom} = -R \sin(30^\circ) = -2 \text{ m}$.
The water surface is at $y = 2 \text{ m}$ (relative to the hinge).

The volume of water above the gate is the area of the rectangle with width $x = 2\sqrt{3} \text{ m}$ and height $H = 4 \text{ m}$ (from $y=-2$ to $y=2$), minus the area of the circular segment.
This is not the easiest way.

Let's use the direct method: $F_V = \rho g V_{fluid\_above}$.

The area of the fluid above the gate is the area of the rectangle with width $R \cos(30^\circ)$ and height $R \sin(30^\circ)$ (from the hinge to the top of the gate), plus the area of the rectangle with width $R \cos(30^\circ)$ and height $R \sin(30^\circ)$ (from the hinge to the bottom of the gate), minus the area of the circular segment.
