Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

   From the question we are told that

          The weight of the gate is

The vertical component of F is  

   From the diagram , taking moment about the pivot we have  

Where  is the weight of the gate evaluated as

=>        

=>        

=>      

you have to draw the persons position over there

the displacement produced by the body.
