Balloons are now used to move huge trees from their cutting place on mountain slopes to conventional transportation. Calculate the volume of a balloon needed if it is to have a lifting force of 1000 kg when the temperature is 290 K at 0.940 atm. The balloon is to be filled with helium. Assume that air is 80 %mol N2 and 20 %mol O2. Ignore the mass of the superstructure and propulsion engine of the balloon.
