QUESTION: I am doing a project with fluid mechanics, to determine how much energy a wind mill would make on Mars. However, to complete the formula(Pavail=1/2mV3)I need the density of the Martian atmosphere. Please do not send me the pressure. Unless you tell me what the temp was when you took the reading, so I can convert it. ANSWER from Bob Haberle on November 23, 1999: The average density on the surface of Mars is about 0.015 Kilograms per cubic meter. Be sure to use consistent units when you make the calculation (use winds given in meters per second).
