In Guericke's experiment to show the effect of atmospheric pressure, two copper hemispheres were tightly fitted to each other to form a hollow sphere and the air from the sphere was pumped out to create vacuum inside. If the radius of each hemisphere is $R$ and the atmospheric pressure is $p$, then the minimum force required (when the two hemispheres are pulled apart by the same force) to separate the hemispheres is

In Guericke's experiment,
If pressure difference between outside and inside is $p$, then
$\frac{F}{A}=p \text { or } F=p A=p \pi R^2$
