Answer

$T=100.2^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

First we calculate the force exerted by the lid: $A=\frac{\pi D^2}{4}=\frac{\pi*(0.2m)^2}{4}=0.031415m^2$ $W=mg=4kg*9.81\frac{m}{s^2}=39.24N$ $P=\frac{W}{A}=\frac{39.24N}{0.031415m^2}=1.25kPa$ $P_{abs}=101kPa+1.25kPa=102.25kPa$ Interpolating from table A-5: $T=100.2^{\circ}C$
