A sealed container with a lid of area 0.004 m^2 is filled with an ideal gas. The container and gas are allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the surrounding air. If a 2000 N block is needed to keep the lid from being pushed off the container, what is the absolute pressure inside the container (the pressure compared to vacuum)

6 * 10^5 N/m²

Explanation:

Given that :

Area of lid = 0.004m²

Force of block needed to keep the lid from being pushed off the container = 2000 N

Absolute Pressure = atmospheric pressure + force / Area

Force / Area = 2000 N / 0.004 m² = 500,000 = 5 * 10^5

Atmospheric pressure = 1.01325 * 10^5 N/m²

Absolute Pressure = (1.01325 * 10^5) + (5 * 10^5)

Absolute Pressure = 6.01325 * 10^5

= 6 * 10^5 N/m²

this means that the temperature of both substances will be equal

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
