We assume that the seal is at a radius of 5 cm. Outside the seal, atmospheric pressure presses on both sides of the
cover and the forces cancel. Thus, only the 10 cm diameter opening inside the seal is relevant, not the 20 cm diameter
of the cover.

where A=πr2 =7.85×10−3 m2 is the area of the opening. The difference between the forces is

Normally, the rubber seal exerts a 639 N force to the right to balance the air pressure force. To pull the cover off,
an external force must pull to the right with a force ≥639 N.
