Question: A 2 - m - long and 3 - m - wide horizontal rectangular plate is submerged in water. The distance of the top surface

A 2-m-long and 3-m-wide horizontal rectangular plate is submerged in water. The distance of the top surface from the free surface is 5 m . The atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa . Considering atmospheric pressure, the hydrostatic force acting on the top surface of this plate is
a)307 kN
b)688 kN
c)747 kN
d)864 kN
e)2950 kN
