A metal bowl is in the shape of a partial unit sphere centered on the origin. The bowl's mass is , and gravity is in the direction.
A force is applied normally at all points on the outside surface, such that each unit of surface area experiences an infinitesimal force of the same magnitude:
In the above equation, the units on are (it is therefore a pressure value). If the applied force keeps the bowl in stasis, what is the value of ?
