Estimate the mass of water on the earth. The density of water is 1000kg cubic meter. Give answer to 1 significant figure. There are some approximations that can be use: compared with the oceans, lakes and rivers are tiny. Clouds have very low density. There is (still) lots of ice in the the polar regions , but much less area which covers roughly 2/3 of the earth. Looking at the charts of the oceans , we see that the depth is typically several thousand meters (and a serious search tells me the average depth is 4700m) .The radius of the earth is about 6000km .The surface area of a sphere is 4piR².

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i. e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.
