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!)
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
b) How much force would the lander have to withstand on the
earth?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
