Problem 10CQ

The outward force on one end of an air tank was calculated in Example 11.2. How is this force balanced? (The tank does not accelerate, so the force must be balanced.)

Example 11.2: Calculating Force Exerted by the Air: What Force Does a Pressure Exert?

An astronaut is working outside the International Space Station where the atmospheric pressure is essentially zero. The pressure gauge on her air tank reads 6.90×106 Pa . What force does the air inside the tank exert on the flat end of the cylindrical tank, a disk 0.150 m in diameter?
