You are assigned the design of a pressurized water tank for a future colony on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 m/s^2. The pressure at the surface of the water will be 100 kPa, and the depth of the water will be 14.5 m . The pressure of the air outside the tank, which is elevated above the ground, will be 89.0 kPa . The tank's flat bottom has an area of 1.65 m^2, and the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3.

Required:
Find the net downward force on the tank's flat bottom, of area 2.15 m^2, exerted by the water and air inside the tank and the air outside the tank.
