Problem 7 Can of Gas
A can with volume V has N molecules of nitrogen contained inside. A plug at the top has mass m and
cross-sectional area A. The plug can withstand a force of 2mg before it would pop loose. The pressure
of the outside air is Po. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the plug. (b) Assuming the outside air and gas
inside the container have the same temperature, at what outdoor temperature would the plug pop loose?
