Imagine a particular exoplanet covered in an ocean of liquid ethane. At the surface of the ocean, the acceleration of gravity is 6.50 m/s2, and atmospheric pressure is 7.20 ✕ 104 Pa. The atmospheric temperature and pressure on this planet causes the density of the liquid ethane ocean to be 620 kg/m3. (a) What force (in N) is exerted by the atmosphere on a disk-shaped region 2.00 m in radius at the surface of the ocean? ____N   (b) What is the weight, on this exoplanet, of a 10.0 m deep cylindrical column of ethane with radius 2.00 m? (Enter your answer in N.) ____N   (c) What is the pressure (in Pa) at a depth of 10.0 m in the ethane ocean? ____Pa
