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.)
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
