Question

Titan has a very thick atmosphere of nitrogen gas at a surface pressure (P) of 150 kiloPascals (kg·m/sec2/m2 units). If pressure (P) is force per unit area, then the mass pushing down over 1 square meter of the surface will scale as P/g with g (1.352 m/sec2) being the surface acceleration due to gravity. Considering that the density of solid nitrogen is 1027 kg/m3, calculate the layer thickness of solid nitrogen that would result from freezing the atmosphere by dividing the density of nitrogen into the mass per m2?
