Question
Imagine a particular exoplanet covered in an ocean of liquid methane. At the surface of the ocean, the acceleration of gravity is 4.70 m/s2, and atmospheric pressure is 8.60 ✕ 104 Pa. The atmospheric temperature and pressure on this planet causes the density of the liquid methane ocean to be 415 kg/m3.
(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 methane with radius 2.00 m? (Enter your answer in N.)
N
(c) What is the pressure (in Pa) at a depth of 10.0 m in the methane ocean?

- A common belief is that a hole in a jet plane can suck a person out. On an episode of a popular TV series, the hosts attempted to determine whether this is possible. According to the hosts' experiment, such an event cannot happen. Did they need to perform the experiment? As a science adviser to the show, the hosts ask you to perform a crude calculation to test the myth. A typical jet plane travels at 552 mph at a cruising altitude of 32500 ft. The windows on a jet plane measure 14.0 in x 14.0 in. Calculate the force F exerted on such a window as the plane flies at 32500 ft above the sea level. Assume the density and pressure of air at 32500 ft are 0.410 kg/m³ and 259 mbar, respectively, but that the interior of the plane remains pressurized to atmospheric pressure, 1 atm.arrow_forwardThe specific gravity of honey is 1.45.

This is considerably closer than the orbit of geosynchronous satellites (26,200 miles). This is the closest recorded approach of an object this large. The asteroid 2012 DA14 was estimated to have a diameter of 30 meters [m] and a specific gravity of 3. If 2012 DA14 had hit the Earth, what is the total amount of energy that would have been released (i.e., what was the kinetic energy of the asteroid)? Express your answer in megatons [Mton].
