The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the specific type of waste that can be sealed in concrete-filled drums and discharged to a depth of about 500 meters. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - Radiation pollutants - UV radiation pollutants - Particle pollutants - Radioactive pollutants 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Radiation Pollutants**: These are generally emissions from radioactive materials. They cannot simply be sealed and disposed of due to their nature. - **UV Radiation Pollutants**: UV radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation and does not produce waste that can be sealed in drums. - **Particle Pollutants**: These are solid or liquid particles in the air and do not require deep disposal methods like radioactive waste. - **Radioactive Pollutants**: These are byproducts of nuclear reactions and require careful disposal due to their hazardous nature. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Given the nature of the waste described (sealed in concrete-filled drums and disposed of at a significant depth), the only option that fits this description is **Radioactive pollutants**. This is because radioactive waste is hazardous and needs to be isolated from the environment to prevent radiation exposure. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is **Radioactive pollutants**.

Case 2 : the biological process involved in the removal of harmful metabolic wastes from the bosy is called excertion .Different organisms use varied strategies to do this Many unicellular organisms remove these wastes by simple diffusion from the body surface into the surrounding water while complex multicellular organisms use specialised organs to perform the same function . Which of the following statements (s) is (are) true about excretion in human beings ? (I) Urine is stored in the urethra until the urge of passing it out . (II) Kidneys are the primary excretory organs . (III) The bladder is muscular so it under nervous control . (IV) Each kidney has large numbers of filtration units called nephrons .

The plastic tube in Fig. has a cross-sectional area of 5.00 cm^(2) . The tube is filled with water until the short arm (of length d = 0.800 m) is full. Then the short arm is figure sealed and more water is gradually poured into the long arm. When the total height of water in the long arm reaches 2.80 m, the seal is on the verging of popping. What force is then on the seal?
