The level of water in a dam is 6 m. The rectangular gate ABC is pinned at point B so it can rotate freely about this point. When the gate is aligned vertically, its counterclockwise rotation is prevented by the block at C. The density of water is 1,000 kg/m3 .

Determine the reactions at the supports B and C due to hydrostatic pressure.
