We know that the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the earth is because of weight, of the air. The radius of the earth is 6400 km and atmospheric pressure on the sruface of earth is 1xx10^(5) N//m^(2) . Estimate the mass of the earth's atmosphere assuming that acceleration due to gravity remains constant at 10m//s^(2) over the entrie height of the atmospehre.

Diameter of a planet is 10d_(@) , its mean density is (rho_(@))/(4) and mass of its atmosphere is 10m_(@) where d^(@) , rho^(@) and m^(@) are diameter, mean density and mass of atmosphere respectively for the earth. Assume that mean density of atmosphere is same on the planet and the earth and height of atmosphere on both the planets is very small compared to their radius. Find the ratio of atmospheric pressure on the surface of the planet to that on the earth. If a mercury barometer reads 76 cm on the surface of the earth, find its reading on the surface of the planet.

The density of asir ner earth's surface is 1.3kgm^-3 and the atmospheric pressure is 1.0xx10^5Nm^-2 . If the atmosphere had uniform density, same as that observed at the surface of the earth what would be the height of the atmosphere to exert the same pressure?

Calculate the escape velocity for an atmospheric particle 1600 km above the earth's surface, given that the radius of the earth is 6400 km and acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is 9.8 ms^(-2) .

Calculate the pressure caused by gravitational copmression at the centre of the earth . Express the result in terms of standard atmospheric pressure .Mass of the earth = 6.0 xx 10^(24) kg , radius of the earth = 6.4 xx 10^(6) m and g ( at the surface of the earth ) =9.8 m s^(-2) . 1 standard atmospheric pressure = 10^(5) Nm^(-2) .
