**Figure P32 Description: Gaussian Plume Model Illustration**This educational illustration demonstrates a point source Gaussian plume model for a power plant. The plume model uses an effective stack height of 50 meters. The scenario is set during an overcast night. The focus is on ground-level pollution at two locations, labeled A and B. These locations are situated 1.2 km and 1.4 km directly downwind from the stack, respectively.**Diagram Details:**- An industrial stack emits smoke, visualized as a plume dispersing into the atmosphere.- The height of the stack is marked as \( H = 50 \) m.- Two locations, A and B, are downwind at distances of 1.2 km and 1.4 km, respectively.- The sky is depicted with cloud cover, indicating an overcast night.**Questions for Exploration:**(a) **Concentration of Pollution:** - Determine at which distance the maximum pollution concentration occurs. - Identify which location (A or B) would experience higher pollution levels.(b) **Changes in Weather Conditions:** - If the sky clears and wind speed remains less than 5 m/s, analyze whether the location of maximum pollution concentration shifts. - Ascertain if it moves closer to or farther from the stack, maintaining \( H = 50 \) m.(c) **Impact of Changed Conditions:** - Under these new conditions, determine which house (A or B) would encounter the most pollution.

Consider the free body diagram of the system;

32 A point source Gaussian plume model for a power plant uses 50 m as the effective stack height (see Figure P32). The night is overcast. (Note: This is not the same as "cloudy" in this model; check the footnotes in Table 8.)

Which location (A or B) would have the higher level of pollution? (b) Suppose the sky clears up, and the windspeed stays less than 5 m/s.
