Estimate the total mass of Earth's atmosphere. The pressure at sea level on Earth is 1 Bar, a unit that equals 100,000 Newtons per square meter of ground under Earth's gravity. Remember that 1 Bar has units of "Force per square meter", and force is "Mass times Acceleration", where acceleration is due to Earth's gravity. This one is a bit tricky!
A submarine dives down to a depth 80 metres beneath the surface of the ocean. Calculate the pressure in atmospheres at that depth, assuming the density of water is 1029 kg/m3, and the air pressure at the surface is 105.2 kPa. Give your answer with two digits of precision. Note: 1 standard atmosphere is 101325 Pa. Your Answer: Answer
If a 5.0 mm thick piece of plastic sheeting is being placed around a ball to represent 50 percent of the mass of Earth's atmosphere, what is the diameter of the ball needed to model Earth? Use 1.2756 × 104 km for the Earth's diameter and 5.6 km for the thickness of 50 percent of the mass of Earth's atmosphere. Express the answer in standard scientific notation. Dball = 11389. 2 X
Figure 6.3 illustrates a simple mercury barometer. When a glass tube is completely evacuated of air and placed into the dish of mercury, the mercury rises to a height such that the force of the air pushing on the open dish matches the gravity pulling the mercury back down the tube. The density of mercury is 13,534 kilograms per cubic meter, which means that mercury is very dense compared to water (1000 kilograms per cubic meter). In the mercury barometer, the mercury will rise to 29.92 inches under standard sea-level pressure. How tall would the barometer need to be if you used water instead of mercury?

If you swam 3 meter below the surface of the dead-sea, how much TOTAL pressure would you feel? (density = 1.24 g/mL)
The density of the atmosphere varies drastically with height, but you can use an average density from sea floor to the space in order to calculate its height. If we approximate this average density to be = 1 Kg/m³, what would be height of the atmosphere? HINT: Since the atmosphere is a fluid (in gas form), you can use the hydrostatic pressure formula (P pgh), just solve for h and use P = 1 atm. BTW, this is how the edge of space is defined, if you make it pass the height of the atmosphere you have reached space :)
