SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the psi of a hollow cube with a volume of 504 cm³ after a hole is opened, leading to a hollow cylinder. Initially, the cube contains air at 94 psi. Upon opening a hole with an area of 12.56 cm², the cylinder, which is 14 cm long with a radius of 2 cm, is confirmed to be a vacuum. Boyle's Law (PV = c) is identified as the primary method for calculating the new psi of the structure after the air is released.
