A helium-filled balloon is attached to one en of a uniform wooden beam, lifting it partially up off of the ground. The beam is 2.25 meters long and it weighs 578N. What Volume of helium is required to hold the beam up at an angle of 30.0⁰ ? (You can ignore the weight of the empty balloon and the wire connecting it to the beam.)

Expert Solution

First, find the buoyant force

Refer the figure

-------------

==========================

Take moment about O

================

Consider the ballon

The buoyant force is acting upwards

Weight of the helium is acting downwards

Tension on the string is acting downwards

Tension + Weight of helium = Buoyant force

A 3.0 g latex balloon is filled with 2.8 g of helium. When filled, the balloon is a 32-cm-diameter sphere. When released, the balloon accelerates upward until it reaches a terminal speed. What is this speed? Assume an air density of 1.2 kg/m3 and a drag coefficient for sphere of 0.47.

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95m and is filled with helium.

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. The skin and structure of the balloon has a mass of 960kg. Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself. Determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift.

Consider a long (length = 15 m) uniform wooden beam (mass = 60 kg) attached horizontally to a wall that can only support a vertical load ( The horizontal component of the force of the wall on the beam is identically zero). There is a chandelier (mass = 40 kg) hanging at a distance = 4.21 meter from the end of the beam that is attached to the wall. There is a vertical cable hanging down from the ceiling that...

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...

Consider a helium balloon, attached by a string to the floor inside a car. If the car is speeding up, will the balloon be leaning forward or backward – or not be leaning at all? Explain your answer using Einstein's Principal of Equivalence.

A 100 kg uniform beam is attached to a vertical wall at one end and is supported by a cable at the other end. Calculate the magnitude of the vertical component of the force that the wall exerts on the left end of the beam if the angle between the cable and horizontal is θ = 43°. The angle between the horizontal and the beam is 30 degrees.

A helium-filled balloon has a volume of 0.010 m3. The temperature in the room and in the balloon is 20 C What are the average speed of a particle of helium inside the balloon? What is the thermal energy of the helium in the balloon? Assume that due to stretching of the balloon the pressure inside it is 1.1 atm.
