Transcribed Image Text:### Pressure and Force in a Cubical Container
#### Problem Statement:
The figure below shows a fluid inside a cubical container of side 1 m. If the pressures inside and outside the container are as shown in the figure, what is the net force on one wall of the container?
#### Diagram Explanation:
- The diagram illustrates a transparent cube with fluid inside it.
- The side length of the cube is 1 meter.
- Inside the cube, the pressure (\( P_{in} \)) is 5 atmospheres (atm).
- Outside the cube, the pressure (\( P_{out} \)) is 1 atmosphere (atm).
#### Question:
Calculate the net force acting on one wall of the container.
#### Choices:
a) \( 3.039 \times 10^5 \) N
b) \( 4.052 \times 10^5 \) N
c) \( 5.065 \times 10^5 \) N
d) \( 6.078 \times 10^5 \) N
### Detailed Solution:
1. **Conversion of Pressure Units:**
- 1 atm = \( 1.013 \times 10^5 \) Pascals (Pa).
2. **Calculate the Pressure Difference:**
- Pressure inside (\( P_{in} \)) in Pascals:
\( 5 \text{ atm} = 5 \times 1.013 \times 10^5 \text{ Pa} = 5.065 \times 10^5 \text{ Pa} \)
- Pressure outside (\( P_{out} \)) in Pascals:
\( 1 \text{ atm} = 1.013 \times 10^5 \text{ Pa} \)
- Pressure difference (\( \Delta P \)):
\( \Delta P = P_{in} - P_{out} \)
\( \Delta P = (5.065 \times 10^5 \text{ Pa}) - (1.013 \times 10^5 \text{ Pa}) \)
\( \Delta P = 4.052 \times 10^5 \text{ Pa} \)
3. **Calculate the Net Force:**
- Force (\( F \)) is given by \( F = \Delta P \times A \), where \( A \)
