**Problem 6: Buoyancy and Lifting Capacity of a Spherical Helium Balloon**A spherically shaped balloon has a radius of 13.5 meters and is filled with helium. Determine the additional mass a cargo can lift, provided that the combined mass of the balloon's skin and cargo is 900 kilograms. For this calculation, neglect the buoyant force acting on the cargo's volume itself. - The density of air is given as 1.29 kg/m³.- The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m³.**Solution:**To find the extra mass that can be lifted, calculate the buoyant force and subtract the mass of the helium and balloon structure. Let's assume that `V` is the volume of the balloon, `ρ_air` is the density of air, and `ρ_helium` is the density of helium. 1. Calculate the volume of the balloon using the formula for the volume of a sphere: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] where $ r = 13.5 $ meters.2. Use the volume to determine the buoyant force: \[ \text{Buoyant Force} = V \times \rho_{\text{air}} \times g \] where $ g \approx 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 $.3. Calculate the weight of the helium in the balloon: \[ \text{Weight of Helium} = V \times \rho_{\text{helium}} \times g \]4. Determine the lifting capacity by subtracting the mass of the balloon and helium from the buoyant force and include the initial mass: \[ \text{Extra Mass Lifted} = \left(\frac{\text{Buoyant Force} - \text{Weight of Helium}}{g}\right) - \text{Mass of Balloon+Cargo} \] Round off your answer to the nearest kilogram.
