Answer:
32.25675 N
Explanation:
1 atm = 101325 Pa
As the CO2 pressure inside the bottle and the atmospheric pressure has opposite direction, the net pressure on the cap is:
[tex] 1.8*10^5 - 101325 = 78675 Pa[/tex]
Then the pressurized force acting on the cap by CO2 is
[tex]F = PA = 78675 * 4.1*10^{-4} = 32.25675 N[/tex]
This is also the magnitude of the force the the screw thread has to exert on the cap in order to keep it on the bottle
