Answer:

864 KN

Explanation:

(Absolute pressure) = (Atmospheric pressure) + (Gauge Pressure)

Atmospheric pressure = 95 KPa = 95000 Pa

Gauge Pressure = ρgh

ρ = density of the fluid = 1000 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = depth below the fluid level that the object is at = 5 m

Gauge Pressure = 1000 × 9.8 × 5 = 49000 Pa

Absolute pressure = 95000 + 49000 = 144000 Pa.

Pressure = (Hydrostatic force)/(Area perpendicular to the force)

Hydrostatic force = (Pressure) × (Area perpendicular to the force)

Area perpendicular to the force = 2 × 3 = 6 m²

Hydrostatic force on the top of the plate = 144000 × 6 = 864000 N = 864 KN

Hope this Helps!!!

Acid mine drainage is:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
