Complete Question
A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spherical air tank that measures 74.0 wide. The biologist estimates she will need 2600 L of air for the dive. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit into the air tank. Write your answer in atmospheres. Round your answer to significant digits.
Answer:
The pressure required is 
Explanation:
Generally the volume of a sphere is mathematically denoted as
Substituting 
Converting to Liters
Assume that the pressure at which the air is given to the diver is 1 atm when the air was occupying a volume of 2600L

Not sure why you reposted your question, the answer is D as explained in my other answer.
Answer:
5 significant figures
Explanation:
- Zeros that come before any non-zero digits are never significant.
- Zeros that are in between any non-zero digits are always significant.
- Zeros that come after any non-zero digit are ONLY significant if a decimal point in present somewhere in the number. (In this case there is a decimal point, but there aren't any zeros at the end of this number.)
I have underlined the significant figures in this number:

Too freaking many... or maybe not many at all
the force between the electron and the proton.
a) Use F = k * q1 * q2 / d²
where k = 8.99e9 N·m²/C²
and q1 = -1.602e-19 C (electron)
and q2 = 1.602e-19 C (proton)
and d = distance between point charges = 0.53e-10 m
The negative result indicates "attraction".
the radial acceleration of the electron.
b) Here, just use F = ma
where F was found above, and
m = mass of electron = 9.11e-31kg, if memory serves
a = radial acceleration
the speed of the electron.
c) Now use a = v² / r
where a was found above
and r was given
<span> the period of the circular motion.</span>
d) period T = 2π / ω = 2πr / v
where v was found above
and r was given
