A hypothetical planet has an ocean of water which is 50km deep. The top 5km is frozen as ice (i.e., 45km is water). Radius and average density of the planet are both half the respective values for the earth. There is no atmospehre. Obtain an estimate of the pressure at the bottom of the ocean.

A man can jump up to a height of 1.5 m on the earth's surface. What should be the radius of a planet having the same average density as that of the earth so that the man can come out of the gravitational field of that planet in one jump ? Radius of the earth is 6400 km.

How will you weight the sun, i.e. estimate its mass ? You will need to know the period of one of its planets and the radius of the planetary orbit. The mean orbit radius of the earth around the sun is 1.5 xx 10^(8)km , then the mass of the sun would be calculated as
