Consider a planet where Solar onstant = 1360 W /m2 and albedo=0.30. If the planet has a water vapor feedback so that the number of layers n is a function of surface temperature nT = (T – 254.5)/100, what is the equilibrium surface temperature?

The figure shows, not to scale, a cross section through the interior of Earth. Rather than
being uniform throughout, Earth is divided into three zones: an outer crust, a mantle, and an
inner core. The dimensions of these zones and the masses contained within them are shown
on the figure. Earth has a total mass of 5.98 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6370 km. Ignore
rotation and assume that Earth is spherical. (a) Calculate ag at the surface. (b) Suppose that a
bore hole (the Mohole) is driven to the crust-mantle interface at a depth of 25.0 km; what
would be the value of ag at the bottom of the hole? (c) Suppose that Earth were a uniform
sphere with the same total mass and size. What would be the value of ag at a depth of 25.0
km? (Precise measurements of ag are sensitive probes of the interior structure of Earth,
although results can be clouded by local variations in mass distribution.)

- Atmospheric pressure on Earth at its surface is 101 KPa (101 kilopascals or 101,000 N/m2). Which of these statements is true. When we reduce the pressure in the container while keeping the temperature constant, the number of atoms per m3 must stay constant. At 1 atmosphere, the number of atoms/m3 in air at room temperature is about 109, one billion atoms. If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will be fewer than 100 atoms per m3 in the container.
