Question

After a party the host pours the remnants of several bottles of wine into a jug. He then inserts a cork with a 1.95-cm diameter into the jug, placing it in direct contact with the wine. He is amazed when he pounds the cork into place that the bottom of the jug, with a 13.5-cm diameter, breaks away. Find the force that the liquid exerts on the bottom of the bottle when the host is pounding the cork with a 150-N force. Ignore the force caused by the weight of the wine.
