One of the great difficulties in landing on Venus is dealing with the crushing pressure of the atmosphere, which is 92 times the earth's atmospheric pressure. Part A If you are designing a lander for Venus in the shape of a hemisphere 2.3 m in diameter, how many newtons of inward force must it be prepared to withstand due to the Venusian atmosphere? (Don't forget about the bottom!) Express your answer with the appropriate units. HA F = Value Units Submit Request Answer Part B How much force would the lander have to withstand on the earth? Express your answer with the appropriate units. ? F = Value Units Submit Request Answer
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
