Pressure cookers have been around for more than 300 years, although their use has strongly declined in recent years (early models had a nasty habit of exploding). How much force (in N) must the latches holding the lid onto a pressure cooker be able to withstand if the circular lid is 27.0 cm in diameter and the gauge pressure inside is 3.00 atm? Neglect the weight of the lid. 11632.1 XN
