Imagine a particular exoplanet covered in an ocean of liquid methane. At the surface of the ocean, the acceleration of gravity i
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

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
