    F = 2,355 10⁵ N

    Explanation:

    The pressure is distributed throughout the sphere with the same value and is defined by

    P = F / A

    F = P A

    Therefore, on each bolt there is an internal force and external force

    ∑ F = F_int - F_ext

    ∑ F = P_int A - P_atm A

    F = A (P_int - P_atm)

    P_int = 300 10³ + P_atm

    F = A 300 10³

    The area of the sphere layer is

    A = π r² = π / 4 d²

    A = π / 4 1²

    A = 0.785 m2

    F = 0.785 (300 10³)

    F = 2,355 10⁵ N
