Chapter 13, Problem 12P
Landing on Venus. 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. (a) If you are designing a lander for Venus in the shape of a hemisphere 2.5 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!) (b) How much force would the lander have to withstand on the earth?

Consider a lake of liquid water. The lake is 5.4 m deep, and has a pressure of 0.97 atm at the bottom. If the acceleration due to gravity is 6.7 m/s ^2 on this planet, what is the atmospheric pressure, p0? Assume the density of water is 1,000kg/m^3
A common belief is that a hole in a jet plane can suck a person out. On an episode of a popular TV series, the hosts attempted
to determine whether this is possible. According to the hosts' experiment, such an event cannot happen.
Did they need to perform the experiment? As a science adviser to the show, the hosts ask you to perform a crude calculation
to test the myth. A typical jet plane travels at 552 mph at a cruising altitude of 32500 ft. The windows on a jet plane measure
14.0 in x 14.0 in. Calculate the force F exerted on such a window as the plane flies at 32500 ft above the sea level. Assume
the density and pressure of air at 32500 ft are 0.410 kg/m³ and 259 mbar, respectively, but that the interior of the plane
remains pressurized to atmospheric pressure, 1 atm.
