I once was given a metal whiskey flask for being in my cousin’s wedding. When it got dented, I put in 1 gram of H2O (initially 21°C, just like the air filling the rest of the flask) and heated it up to boil the water. It popped the dent out. Assume the flask had a rectangular cross section, with a height of 15 cm, a width of 10 cm, and a thickness of 2 cm. Assume that in order to pop the dent out, an outward pressure difference of 1.0E6 Pa was required (that is, the outward pressure on the flask minus the inward pressure on the flask was 1.0E6 Pa). How much heat had to be added to the contents

I couldn't open the link, sorry! You might want to check that out. Maybe the periods in it are causing issues.

I'm not sure how to do this problem, though. Sorry!

Thanks for letting me know that, but I noticed that my answer was wrong anyway. 
This one is very hard to understand because it has to do with the calorimetry.
