The atmospheric pressure at the surface of Venus is 91 times the pressure at sea level on Earth. With approximately how much total force would Venus’s atmosphere push on an average human being at sea level? Assume that the surface area of an average human being is 1.8 m2.

Answer:

17×10⁶ N

Explanation:

1 atm on Earth is 101325 Pa.

So on Venus, the atmospheric pressure is:

91 × 101325 Pa = 9220575 Pa

The force on an average human being would be:

F = PA

F = 9220575 Pa × 1.8 mÂČ

F = 16597035 N

Rounded to two significant figures, the force would be 17×10⁶ N, or 17 MN.
