Answer

Force required to pull lid is $F=1.105\times10^{3}N$ or $1105N$

Work Step by Step

Area of the removable lid is $A=1.3\times10^{-2}m^2$ The pressure outside of the box $P=0.85\times10^{5}Pa=0.85\times10^{5}N/m^2$ since $P=\frac{F}{A}$ so force required to pull the lid will be $F=PA$ $F=0.85\times10^{5}N/m^2\times1.3\times10^{-2}m^2$ $F=1.105\times10^{3}N$ or $1105N$
