Imagine a particular exoplanet covered in an ocean of liquid methane. At the surface of the ocean, the acceleration of gravity is 6.20 m/s2, and atmospheric pressure is 7.00 ✕ 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?

    Atmospheric pressure = 7 x 10⁴ Pa

    force on a disk-shaped region 2.00 m in radius at the surface of the ocean due to atmosphere = pressure x area

    = 7 x 10⁴ x 3.14 x 2 x 2

    = 87.92 x 10⁴ N

    b)

    weight, on this exoplanet, of a 10.0 m deep cylindrical column of methane with radius 2.00 m

    Pressure x area

    height x density x acceleration of gravity x π r²

    = 10 x 415 x 6.2 x 3.14 x 2 x 2

    =323168.8 N

    c) Pressure at a depth of 10 m

    atmospheric pressure + pressure due to liquid column

    = 7 x 10⁴ + 10 x 415 x 6.2 (hρg)

    = 7 x 10⁴ + 10 x 415 x 6.2

    (7 + 2.57) x 10⁴ Pa

    9.57 x 10⁴ Pa
