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!!!
