Reaction = vertical force by water on A+2000kg
Vertical force = wt of water in a volume[volume here is vertically upward projected portion of water without the semicylindrical portion]
Vertical force = 1000 * vol = 1000 * [3 * 1.4 * 4 - 0.5 * 3.14 * 3^(2) * 4/4 = 1000 * [18 - 14.137].
= 3863kg force.
Then the reaction = 3863 + 2000 = 5863kg.

Vertical reaction = wt Of cylinder - vertical Force.
Vertical force= specific weight * volume,
= 1000 * &pie; *1.5^2 * 4/2.
= 14137 kgf.

Ra= 20000-14137 = 5863 kgf.

The correct answer should be 12137. 1669 Newton this reaction is acting downward because the upward forces more than downward.

Option A is correct.

Fy = 1000 * 9.81 * ( 3.14 * 1.5^2 * 4/2) = 138685.60 N.
138685.60 ÷ 9.81 = 14137.16 kgf.

Reaction at B = horizontal force (Fh).
Fh= specific wt * area * y.
= 1000 * 3 * 4 * 3/2,
= 18000 kgf.

(3.14 * 3^2 * 0.25 * 4 * 2000 + 1000 * 3)/9.81 = 6070.2.

@Nungshi Jr.

Yes, you are right. Thanks.

F(verticle) = 3.142 * R^2 * L * 9.81.
