You are designing a personal submarine which is formed from a cylinder with two hemispherical caps of R=0.75m.
You would like to put a view port in one of the hemispherical caps which subtends a solid angle of =45. Assume
the pressure at 4000 m below the surface is 39.2 MPa and that the inside of the submarine is pressurized at 1 atm .
Find the net lateral force Fx pushing the viewing portal into the submarine.
