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

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?

In scuba diving circles an 80 refers to a scuba tank that holds80 cubic feet of air, a standard amount for recreational diving.Given that a scuba tank is a cylinder 2 feet long and half foot indiameter, determine (a) the volume of a tank and (b) the pressurein a tank when 80 cubic feet of air is compressed into itsrelatively small volume. (c) What is the mass of air in a tank thatholds 80 cubic feet of air. Assume the temperature is 21 C and thatthe walls of the tank are of negligible thickness.
