A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed chamber in which the air pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure. These chambers are usually fitted with glass viewing ports so the medical staff can monitor the patient inside. If the radius of one such viewing port is 10 cm, and the pressure inside the chamber is 2 times atmospheric pressure, then what is the approximate outward force on the viewing port due to the air inside?

- A garden hose with a diameter of 2.0 cm is used to fill a bucket, which has a volume of 0.10 cubic meters. It takes 1.2 minutes to fill.
