Question:

Steam at \(120^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(101.3 \mathrm{kPa}\) is added to a hollow steel can that is then sealed and allowed to cool.

(a) What is the pressure inside the can at \(101^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ? \((b)\) The can is \(0.20 \mathrm{~m}\) tall and \(0.10 \mathrm{~m}\) in diameter. What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the atmosphere on the curved and flat portions of the can exterior?

(c) Once the steam cools sufficiently, it begins to condense into liquid water and the can collapses inward. Why does the can retain its shape for much, but not all, of this process? (Hint: Search "collapsing soda can" on your favorite Internet video site.)
