There is no "force shutdown" as far as I know, but you can force
a reboot by holding down the power button for about 15 seconds.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. –  louielouie Apr 29 '12 at 7:23 add
comment  No force shutdown for galaxy tab, but you can use this
trick.    1. Plug the charger into your galaxy tab.   2. Hold
down power button for 10 seconds, and wait to reboot.   3. After
that, the screen will be change with charging battery.   4. Plug
off your tab, and it will be shutdown. share|improve this answer
This should be chosen as answer because it really does what the
asker wants. I can confirm it works on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5100
