The atmospheric pressure on earth is 101kPa. The surface area of the earth is related to its mean radius r which has a value of 6400km. Calculate the mass of the earth’s atmosphere, assuming g does not vary with height above the Earth’s surface. Calculate the number of nitrogen and oxygen molecules present on this atmosphere (take note: molecules).
15. ssm A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The abso-
lute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.80 × 10° Pa.
Assuming that the top and bottom surfaces of the cap each have an area
of 4.10 X 10-4 m², obtain the magnitude of the force that the screw thread
exerts on the cap in order to keep it on the bottle. The air pressure outside
the bottle is one atmosphere.

Note that this assumption is not very accurate since temperature and other weather effects can influence pressure. [Hint: Po = 1.013 × 105 N/m², po = 1.29 kg x m-³] (1) Start by finding a relation between the pressure Po and the density of air po at 0° at sea level (y=0) and the pressure P and density p at height y.
