If you want to cook in water at       150    ∘    C, you need a pressure cooker that can with stand necessary pressure. a) What pressure is required for ht boiling point of water to be this high? b) If the lid of the pressure cooker is a disk 25.0 cm in diameter, what force must it be able to withstand, at this pressure?

To detrmine:The pressure required for the boiling point of water to be highSolution:Consider the table for saturation vapor density of water at different temperature. Pressure required for the boiling point of water to be this high is   4.76  ×      10    5       N      /        m    2

To determine:The force the pressure cooker can withstand if it is a disk which os 25.0 cm in diameter.Given:Vapor pressure   =  3.75  ×      10    5       P  aDiameter of the lid   =  25     c  mCalculation:  F  =  P  A    =  3.75  ×      10    5       P  a  (  3.14  ×      0    2          125      m      )        )    =  1.84  ×      10    4    NConclusion:Force required with standing this pressure   =  1.84  ×      10    4    N
