Question
Imagine a particular exoplanet covered in an ocean of liquid ethane. At the surface of the ocean, the acceleration of gravity is 7.80 m/s?, and atmospheric pressure is 8.20 x 104 Pa. The atmospheric temperature and pressure on this planet causes the density of the
liquid ethane ocean to be 620 kg/m.
(a) What force (in N) is exerted by the atmosphere on a disk-shaped region 2.00 m in radius at the surface of the ocean?
N
(b) What is the weight, on this exoplanet, of a 10.0 m deep cylindrical column of ethane with radius 2.00 m? (Enter your answer in N.)
(c) What is the pressure (in Pa) at a depth of 10.0 m in the ethane ocean?
Pa
