A spherical balloon 6m diameter is filled with gas weighing 5.50N/m^3, what is the maximum load, including its own weight that the balloon can lift?

Expert Solution

Ans: Given that , d= 6m , density = 0.561 kg/m³ and density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

Volume = (4/3)*π*r³

= (4/3)*3.14*(3)³ = 113.04 m³

Weight of balloon = volume x density

= 113.04*0.561 = 63.42 kg

Mass of displaced air = 113.04*1.225 = 138.474 kg

Weight of displaced air = 138.272 * 9.81 = 1358.43 N

Maximum load the balloon can carry = 1358.43/9.81 = 138.474kg + self weight

= 138.474+63.42 = 201.894 kg

A balloon is filled up completely with helium gas and left in a room with a...

A balloon is filled up completely with helium gas and left in a room with a controlled temperature of 230C. After two days of being in the same room, the balloon was found to have shrunk to half its filled-up size. However, there was no leakage of helium gas from the balloon during the two days. Explain what happened to the pressure inside the balloon due to the change in the size of the balloon. ? Use Boyle's Law to explain...

A balloon is filled with 0.896 g of butane gas, C4H10(g), and 4.553 g of oxygen and sealed. If the butane was combusted to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor (yes, consider the water as a gas) the heat released would increase the temperature of the gases in the balloon. If the balloon was initially at 1.089 atm and 16.1 °C, what is the final volume of the balloon? Hint: You will need to determine the temperature of the...
