The can, which weighs 0.2 lb, has an open end. If it is inverted and pushed down into the water, determine the force F needed to hold it under the surface. Assume the air in the can remains at the same temperature as the atmosphere, and that is 70°F. Hint: Account for the change in volume of air in the can due to the pressure change. The atmospheric pressure is Patm = 14.7 psi
