The atmosphere of Mars exerts a pressure of only 600. Pa on the surface and has a density of only 0.0200 kg/m.
a) What is the thickness of the Martian atmosphere, assuming the boundary between atmosphere and outer space to be the point where atmospheric pressure drops to 0.0100% of its value at surface level?
b) What is the atmospheric pressure at the bottom of Mars's Hellas Planitia canyon, at a depth of 7.00 km?
c) What is the atmospheric pressure at the top of Mars's Olympus Mons volcano, at a height of 27.0 km?
d) Compare the relative change in air pressure, Δp/p, between these two points on Mars and between the equivalent extremes on Earth—the Dead Sea shore, at 400. m below sea level, and Mount Everest, at an altitude of 8850 m.
