Solved: The gravitational force exerted by an object is

Chapter 5, Problem 5.15

(choose chapter or problem)

The gravitational force exerted by an object is given by F mg, where F is the force in newtons, m is the mass in kilograms, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s2 ). (a) Use the definition of the pascal to calculate the mass (in kg) of the atmosphere above 1 m2 of ocean. (b) Osmium (Z 76) is a transition metal in Group 8B(8) and has the highest density of any element (22.6 g/mL). If an osmium column is 1 m2 in area, how high must it be for its pressure to equal atmospheric pressure? [Use the answer from part (a) in your calculation.]
