Homework Statement
The Bruce Nuclear Development is a CANDU style reactor. This means that it has a "vaccum building" to "suck" (the contents of a malfunction reactor to a safer place. Refer to the engineering "specs" for the needed information to calculate the net force of the atmposhere acting on the building.
Dimensions of building- 51.m tall .914m thick and 52.1m diameter
Pressure- 90kpa outside of building and 10.3 kpa inside of the build
Homework Equations
mother formula-P= F/A
F= PxA
The Attempt at a Solution
so I'm guessing you add the to pressures you have so it would be 100.3 kpa
surface are of building-51mx52.1mx.914m=2 428.5 m squared
2428.5m x 100.3kpa=
2428.5 x 100 000=242 858 94 0N
