Question

Suppose a distant world with surface gravity of 5.92 m/s2 has an atmospheric pressure of 7.24 ✕ 104 Pa at the surface.

(a) What force is exerted by the atmosphere on a disk-shaped region 2.00 m in radius at the surface of a methane ocean?
answer = 909000 N

(b) What is the weight of a 10.0-m deep cylindrical column of methane with radius 2.00 m? Note: The density of liquid methane is 415 kg/m3.

answer = 309000 N

What is (c)

(c) Calculate the pressure at a depth of 10.0 m in the methane ocean.
