Challenge the atmospheric pressure at the surface of Venus is 91 times the pressure at sea level on Earth. With approximately how much total force would venus’s Atmosphere push on an average human being at sea level? Assume that the surface area of an average human being is 1.8m2

Respuesta :

Atmospheric pressure on the surface of earth is given as

[tex]P_a = 1.01 \times 10^5 Pa[/tex]

now the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus

[tex]P = 91\times P_a[/tex]

[tex]P = 9.19 \times 10^6 Pa[/tex]

now as we know that force is the product of pressure and area

[tex]F = PA[/tex]

given that

[tex]A = 1.8 m^2[/tex]

now from above formula

[tex]F = 9.19 \times 10^6 (1.8) = 1.65 \times 10^7 N[/tex]
