Question
physics A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95 m 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 930 kg . Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself. Determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift.

Answer:
Explanation:
volume of balloon
= 4/3 π R³
= 4/3 x 3.14 x 6.95³
= 1405.47 m³
uplift force
= volume of balloon x density of air x 9.8
= 1405.47 x 1.29 x 9.8
= 1813.05 x 9.8 N
weight of helium gas
= volume of balloon x density of helium x 9.8
= 1405.47 x .179 x 9.8
= 251.58 x 9.8 N
Weight of other mass = 930 x 9.8 N
Total weight acting downwards
= 251.58 x 9.8 +930 x 9.8
= 1181.58 x 9.8 N
If W be extra weight the uplift can balance
1181.58 x 9.8 + W x 9.8 = 1813.05 x 9.8
1181.58 + W = 1813.05
W= 631.47 kg
