You are a scientist studying the possibility of living on Mars. Part of your job is to analyze the atmosphere. The average ground level pressure of the Martian atmosphere is 6.518 mb, or 0.095 pounds per square inch (compared to the 14.7 psi on Earth). Using this information, calculate the total mass of the Martian atmosphere. Convert your final answer to kilograms. Assume that Mars is a sphere and that the elevation of the surface is exactly the same everywhere.
Hint: The formula for the surface area of a sphere is S = 4Ćā¬r^2, where r = the radius of Mars = 3400 km. Show all work in the space provided below.
